This section provides details on how Away Mode works, lists system requirements for Away Mode, and describes usage models when Windows components can enable Away Mode.
Away Mode has no specific hardware or firmware dependencies. No Away Mode–specific ACPI object or interface is required to enable or use Away Mode. As long as Sleep is available—that is, the system supports the ACPI S3 Standby state (suspend to RAM)—Away Mode can be used.
When Away Mode is enabled , any user-initiated request to put the system into Standby sends the system into Away Mode. From the user’s perspective, Standby and Away Mode appear almost identical.
