notes: desktop w/ bluetooth keyboard, both win11 + PT Run act same.

may need to look at last var from NativeMethods.SetSuspendState and flip to false

[crutkas]

laptop can confirm behavior from @tonyww. May be just as simple as tweaking https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Main.cs#L159

to false, false, false or false, true, false

I'll try it

Unfortunately that's not so simple. The call to SetSuspendState puts machine in Sleep or Hibernate, but both states require Power button click, What we're trying to achieve is StandBy state.

Both calls goes

Rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep
Rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Standby

Investigated Explorer handling "Sleep" button. Dump with API Monitor shows several calls to NtPowerInformation. It is unclear how to reproduce Explorer behavior. Probably the right thing would be call to undocumented NtInitiatePowerAction.

@lncubus , did you try anything else?

Should be the same thing as https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/10557

I used SleepOnLan and found 'sleep' actually hibernates #10557 which is dup of this issue.

C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,1

Note: My PC comes with tranditional sleep (entering S3 state) not modern sleep (entering Modern Standby).

3 years later, this is very much still an issue, and exists with the new CmdPal just as it does with PT Run. (Not sure if issues on here can be labeled for two different PowerToys modules, but if so it would benefit from that.)

Make sense that it'd be the same for Run and CmdPal - both share the same implementation for their system commands.
