September 30, 20205 yr Yes - I know the recommendation is to disable sleep on the VM, and I do understand the reasoning for this. I'm curious about what can be done to enable it for one reason - Windows (and other) background processes that do work when the computer is awake, but do nothing when the computer is asleep. Here's an observation I've made with the one windows 10 vm I've got set up. It's passing through a gpu and a usb controller. I can put windows to sleep, and windows does it's thing and goes to sleep. the emulator then recognizes this and halts the vm. I believe this halt is unnecessary. I can resume the VM from the unraid GUI, and it appears that windows is still asleep - monitor is still off, and judging by cpu load on pinned cpu's, background processes are stoppe, until I actually wake it with the mouse. It then wakes up and is sitting at the login screen - normal windows behavior. I wonder if it would be possible to have the VM ignore the sleep command from windows, keep the emulator running, so that it can wake up properly on local (mouse of keyboard) stimulus. Has anyone played around with the various sleep states? Does s1 maybe not halt the vm for instance? Edited September 30, 20205 yr by CraziFuzzy
