Full Image Restore with Modern Standby Windows 10 - Technical White Paper

Full Image Restore with Modern Standby

1 Introduction 4

1 Introduction

Some HP business-class notebooks are capable of Modern Standby. This feature of Windows 10 provides users with an

‘instant-on / instant-off’ experience similar to a smartphone. Many characteristics of the notebook’s operating environment

are optimized to work in the Modern Standby environment when enabled and are different when Modern Standby is

disabled. For this reason, if switching between the enabled and disabled settings, the notebook’s operating system should

be reinstalled.

The software image used for the restoration can be original operating system installation media or an image provided by a

third-party, such as the user’s company Information Technology department. The following procedure reconfigures the

computer for the changes that have been selected in the computer’s BIOS menu, using the HP software image installed on

the computer at the factory. This procedure also resets the configuration required for Modern Standby in either Enabled or

Disabled mode based on the option selected during the initiation of the restore process.

Switching between Modern Standby Enabled and Disabled is not recommended without fully reinstalling the operating

system on the computer. HP has provided the original factory image on the computer’s hard drive to prevent the customer

from having to reinstall the operating system from a download server, rescue DVDs, or other media.

As noted below, HP’s SDS component must be reinstalled to complete the settings configuration. Reinstalling this SDS

component must be done regardless of the method used to re-install the Operating System.

IMPORTANT!: The Full Image Restore process can take up to several hours to complete. The computer must remain

connected to AC power for the entirety of the process.
