Our knowledgebase at work has instructions on how to disable Modern Standby. Shout out to Lenovo and their shitty laptops - never waking up from standby may have been how they started, but I know they're all going to end with dead USB-C ports.

Curious as to what this means.

All the USB-C ports are slowly failing on all the Lenovo laptops we supplied to an important customer. Many have already required motherboard replacements to get the batteries to charge again, although whatever's been happening to the batteries as the USB-C ports fail has been killing them too.

We've also had Lenovo USB-C cables fail, and Lenovo docks fry themselves.
