As we conclude 2020, the news and rumors of Windows 10X are coming in bursts. While Microsoft remained relatively quiet about Windows 10X this year, a support document suggested that Microsoft’s Modern Standby feature is supported by the infamous elusive operating system (via Windows Latest).
Modern Standby is a relatively new feature for Windows 10 and Xbox users where devices in “Sleep mode” can download data such as emails, updates, notifications and other low-level operations.
Again, standby is currently something that Windows 10 already supports and depends primarily on people putting their devices to sleep, rather than turning them off completely. When devices enter hibernate mode, data and applications such as Mail, Photos, Calendar, Settings, UWPs and PWAs are kept connected (while connected to a cell phone or Wi-Fi) to their data sources and content can be retrieved to give users an almost instant feeling when booting their devices.
With Windows 10X coming as the newest operating system offering to Microsoft, support for Modern Standby seems like a basic feature to include. The news alone is not so impressive, but with Microsoft avoiding any Windows 10X-related topics or conversations for an entire year, the updated documentation adds a little credit to the recent rumors about the secret operating system.
