Citrix Receiver - Incompatible with Connected Standby and reduces battery life

Hello,

My Surface battery life seemed to be diminishing. Running Powercfg was throwing ENERGY errors and the Sleepstudy was looking abysmal.

I reset my Surface Pro and reinstalled my trusted apps, left if for a few days of use and ALL the errors had gone.

I created a System Restore Point and installed Citrix Receiver 4.2 (latest). The errors returned. Notably the Marvell Network Card was unable to enter selective suspend state.

Once I had reverted to the System Restore Point the error messages went.

I started this process because the USB Hub was also on 100% during sleep. I suspect Citrix makes some changes there as well but I didn't try as it seemed immaterial

I have put the app store version on my machine but this doesn't show the apps that I want to access - I will need to ask the Ops guys if they know why.

Does anyone know of a social way to connect Citrix whilst retaining InstantGo / Connected standby and maintaining battery life? ps I couldn't download the HTML5 version of the receiver so I don't know if this will help.

    You should also ask in the TechNet forums

    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/home (I suspect that the way

    Citrix hooks into the network stack is what causes your issues)
