  1. Open the PC with super user
  2. Press Win + X to open Run.
  3. Click on Windows Terminal (Admin) to open the terminal with administrative privilege.
  4. In the Windows Terminal window, copy and paste the following reg command:
  5. reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0
  6. When the operation completed successfully message appears, close the Command Prompt.
  7. If you need to enable Modern Standby again, use the following command in the elevated Windows Terminal window:
  8. reg delete "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power" /v PlatformAoAcOverride /f
  9. Make sure you restart your PC to apply the changes.
