Will Downloads Continue In Sleep Mode Windows 10

Hello Kristyn,

Cheers for contacting Microsoft Customs.

I understand your concern in this regard.

Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to speedily resume full-ability operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your reckoner into the slumber state is like pausing a DVD histrion—the computer immediately stops what it's doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.

Hibernation is a power-saving land designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in retention and draws a small amount of ability, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk drive, and then turns off your calculator. Of all the ability-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, apply hibernation when y'all know that you won't use your laptop for an extended period and won't take an opportunity to charge the battery during that fourth dimension.

Let me ostend that, when you put your PC to Slumber or Hibernate Mode, then organization will automatically releases the network connectedness. I mean in both cases organisation volition gets disconnected with the network and then regains when you wake it up. So there no possibility to update or download anything during Sleep or in Hibernate Manner.

Withal, Windows Updates or Shop app Updates won't become interrupted if y'all shutdown your PC or make it to slumber or Hibernate in middle. Organisation will pause the updates, and will resume the update when your PC upward and running with network connection. This process will go in background.

Keep the states posted if you require further assistance.
