My PC keeps randomly entering modern standby

Question

Hi,

My laptop keeps entering modern standby randomly in the middle of my game, and when i look at event logger, it says The system session for bootId:46 changed to 47.

Cause PolicyChange.

Source is Kernel-Power, event id is 566, task category 268 (names might be slightly different, i translated from turkish)

After this event, there is another entry, where kernel power thinks laptop lid is closed when it is not and enters modern standby.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 2

Hi,

It's only happening during gaming, but I don't think it is due to overheating, as it is not shutting down, just going into standby, and it doesn't happen when I stress it with combined CPU and GPU benchmarks to temperatures and powers above those experienced while gaming.

It's an HP Omen 16 with an i5 13500hx and an RTX 4060

Thanks.

Hello there! I am Charity, I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

I understand you need help with your laptop randomly entering modern standby.

Is this only happening when you're gaming? Or is it also happening when you're doing tasks?

If it's only happening when you're gaming, it could be that your laptop is overheating. Kindly make sure that it's not.

And may I know your laptop's brand and model?
