Windows 11 sleep mode is causing all kinds of issues for me too on one laptop. Especially WiFi.
It shuts down WiFi to save power and never wakes it up regardless of what power save settings say. I’m also using a cellular WiFi and have to disable one of the modes in the netadapter for that to even work, but the driver keeps resetting the choices made in the device manager and such. Complete garbage.
It’s my daughters brand new laptop for school. She needs to open the lid and use the pc for browser applications.
My youngest doesn’t have her own laptop, so I gave a beaten up 20 year old laptop and installed Mint, because windows 10 couldn’t even boot properly with only 4 gb of ram. She does the same thing. Open the lid, use the browser. It always works.
This is not a special case. This is not me being to dumb to use it or too smart and demanding. I think it’s perfectly reasonable for anyone to expect a laptop to function as intended when opening the lid and using the browser. Windows just doesn’t do that.
