Not just Dell, any modern standby device. Other OEMs have similar pages.

(snip)

My desktop systems use Asus motherboards.

As far as I know, Bitlocker wasn't enabled by default on either. There is some question of timing: the X570 motherboard pre-dates 11. One of its BIOS updates had the sole purpose of enabling the settings required for an 11 install. The Z690 motherboard had its initial release at about the same time as 11. I don't recall whether its out-of-the-box settings enabled the 11 stuff.

The unsupported laptop I have also didn't enable bitlocker by default. It was made in 2017, though.

Perhaps I'm foolish in avoiding Bitlocker, but I'll continue on that course for the moment.

But it's not a modern standy device. I wouldn't own one of these modern standby laptops if someone gave it to me, except I might take it just so I could use it for target practice. I hate them that much.

I'm unfamiliar with Modern Standby. (There are many aspects of PCs/Windows that I have avoided paying any attention to.)

Can you provide a brief description about why you'd avoid it?

Modern standby devices do not sleep (S3 state)as we have always been accustomed to. The theory behind modern standby (instant on devices-S0 state) sounds great until one has to deal with all the issues it causes. There are too many to name ranging from battery drain to extreme overheating. Some laptops have caught fire while sitting on a desk with the lid closed or in a carry bag. When you have nothing better to do, do an advanced search here on the forum. The kinds of problems it causes seem endless and there's no or very little solution to them.

I tamed mine....

I have two 'almost new' laptops, both less than a year old. One supports Modern Standby, the other (cheaper) one doesn't.
While I cannot remove Modern Standby, I could tame it. To save on battery power I like all my laptops to sleep on closing the lid, then hibernate after 20 minutes if I don't return to them .... I could make my Modern Standby laptop behave like all my other machines.

How to disable Modern Standby? I want regular Sleep again! post #9
