Yea I don't use sleep mode at all on Windows and thankfully, SSD makes sure pc boots up quite rapidly. If you shutdown your computer and then power it back up and it takes time to bring it back, it could be due to memory training nonsense that DDR5 introduced assuming you have a DDR5 system. To disable it, least on Asus motherboards, you have to enable "memory context restore" in the BIOS if I remember correctly and optionally disable "Memory Power Down" function in the BIOS.

It's not even that long, but I tend to put my PC to sleep mode and wake it up quite often. I think I have the settings set correctly (it's much better than it was at some point), but it's the combination of the actual boot time and how long it takes for all the apps to start that adds up when using sleep mode as often as I do. Even if starting everything from scratch takes only a minute (and it's probably somewhat longer, although I haven't measured it), it's still much longer than the mere seconds it takes to start up from sleep mode.

Yea that's fair. When I had my macbook pro, I never shut it down cause the sleep mode was so nice. Same with the steam deck. But I always had problems with Windows and sleep so I said f it. Either it's turning off or always running. It's dumb that MS still can't get it right tho after so many years.
