The Modern Standby feature in newer Windows PCs never seems to work right.

The best way to shutdown your windows computer is to install Linux.

Me too. And by having Linux in my primary boot, I mostly guarantee windows can’t wake itself up after I shut it down. :D

I had the same idea while I was setting up my dual-boot.

That’s exactly what I’ve gone and done.

Needless to say I’ve not been woken up @2-4am when the PC powers itself up and sends the fans to infinity/turning all the lights on.

Fuck windows to the moon, now I just gotta figure out why steam only launches stuff 50% of the time.
