I've turned standby off in the power plan

#

Yet it seems to still be going into some form of standby from the Event Viewer:

Modern Standby

Windows 10 Modern Standby (MS) expands the Windows 8.1 Connected Standby power model to be more inclusive and allows systems based on rotational media and hybrid media (for example, SSD + HDD or SSHD), and/or a NIC that doesn’t support all of the prior requirements for Connected Standby to still take advantage of the low power idle model.

The one not listed is Modern Standby i.e. S0. It's the new idle/low power management by modern CPUs/BIOS.
You can search on how to disable this on your own accord.

Huh it says it's Modern Standby here

#

I don't think it's my BIOS, Linux doesn't do this, only Windows

Modern Standby in an actual practice isn't "sleep". Just low power during idle.

It's a mild pain when I'm listening for Slack messages and keeping one eye on my laptop when I'm supposed to be working but maybe not working as hard as I should be that day 😛

You're panicking over something new.

#

Well like 7 years old "new"

No, I'm panicking because I'm missing messages... it seems my phone thinks Slack is still online

#

yet my laptop doesn't make a noise in this mode

can't believe I'm back to regisry hacking to turn things off
