Background Tasks registered in the so-called Background Infrastructure are one of many ‘Activators’ that can bring the processor out of deep sleep to perform actions. These activities are strictly controlled through scheduling and usage limits. Windows 10 Store applications can register a Background Task that allows them to run while in the MS state which is how notifications, audio streaming, app updates and other activities can continue to work in Sleep, turning a Windows 10 tablet into an always-on PC. The guideline for MS battery usage has been removed (was 5% in 16 hours which I saw working in just a few cases out of many, many tablets that I’ve tested over the last 2 years.) but there’s now a ‘recommendation’ that a PC lasts for 9 days or longer when in MS mode. If a PC is using MBB the system continues to search for WiFi as a ‘cheaper’ connectivity option. As before, all desktop apps are paused. Network connectivity via WiFi, mobile broadband (MBB) and Ethernet are kept active in order for Windows Store apps be able to send and receive network data. PCs with rotating hard drives can now use Modern Standby in a non-connected state. Modern Standby extends Connected Standby with more flexibility for different hardware designs.
