The patient - Lenovo Ideapad 3 Slim running 24H2

The problem(or is there one?) is that when the screen is set to go off after whatever time I set it to, the power button blinks like its in sleep mode.

powercfg /a tells me the laptop supports S0 Low-Power Idle also known as Modern Standby. So maybe the blinking power light is normal but unlike every other computer ive had where the screen went off, I did not get a login screeen on waking the screen up.

So is there a problem? Or is this how a laptop with S0 Low-Power Idle/Modern Standby works. Have I become a wagon without realizing it?

TIA

Right. in other words, you are telling it to go to sleep. So, oddly, it is going to sleep. Yes?

I have sleep set to 1hr but screen set to 20min but for trying to figure this out 1m.

This is my first use with an S0/Modern Standby laptop so this is the first time ive seen a blinking power light when the screen goes off but the laptop has not gone to sleep yet.

Blinking light notwithstanding, we might have to ring the problem solved bell.

At first glance, there's no problem.

And Lenovo says thats normal for some of their laptops. So worried over nothing. I just got another laptop in, an HP with S0/Modern Standby and its power light did not blink so Lenovo specific maybe 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for support everyone.
