I primarily use MacOS and just don't understand how this can still be a seemingly common problem in 2021, when most of the world uses laptops. Shouldn't this be a top priority for Microsoft and for vendors?

Apparently it isn't, which may explain why almost every quarter Apple reports year-over-year gains in laptop sales.

If I were the boss at Microsoft, this would become a top priority. Immediately.



My MacBook Pro (2019) occasionally does this as well. I close the lid in the office, put it in my bag. When I take it out at home it’s turned off due to overheating and the battery is dead. The cause is some background process that’s preventing it going into hibernation when the lid is closed.


It happens with macbooks for me if using an sd card. It started doing it only after an update a few years back.
