But from the nightmares other's have reported, I've always been leary about taking any deviations from my proven methods in installing and setting up the Windows and Toshiba power saving drivers. So since I've not been getting feedback... I went ahead and set BIOS to 'Powerup = hibernate' & 'Standby = no limit' as an experiement. Shutting down the system from Start > Shutdown > Standby put the system in a limitless state of standby without actually shutting down power entirely and losing data in RAM. The system woke up fast this way hours later, but I noticed a couple things. The setting in BIOS didn't stick. It's back to 'Powerup = boot', but selecting 'Standby' from the Shutdown Windows window still puts the system into an endless state of standby. A case of Windows overriding BIOS I guess. I hope I haven't screwed up things now, and won't find the problems others have reported. I was hoping to hear from someone who'd experimented with all this. I've set Windows power management back to 'Always On' for AC and battery. With 'Powerup = boot' reset in BIOS, I'm hoping things will go back the way they were.
