On the same line of "did no one ever bother to actually use it ?", you get a brand new computer or laptop, you want something to run over night so you go to settings and you set "sleep after" to "never", and it still goes down. You think you go crazy, you check every single option, and nope, everything is properly set.

Then you go into the details of your power plan, through the old control panel they plan to remove, and you see that the hibernation settings is set to 120 minutes, and is not exposed in any way in the settings menu.

What is even the point of allowing me to disable sleep ? I know sleep and hibernate are two different things on a technical and power usage level, but the end user really doesn't care, what he means is "don't turn the computer off".

There are so many things in that same vein that have gone wrong after windows 7, and by the way the windows 11 start menu and right click contextual menu are as bad as people describe them, thank god third party tools easily exists to remove them.

Microsoft lost the phone battle so now they want my laptop to behave like a phone, this is ridiculous.
