Solved How do you use the power button to allow the surface to enter InstantGo (connected standby)

InstantGo (also known as connected standby) is the special standby mode that the surface pro 3 enters that allows it to go into a very light sleep and resume almost instantaneously (like an iPad or other arm tablet).

However I am wondering if this state can be activated by pressing the power button on the surface.

I believe you are referring to Connected Standby. I think that's what they used to call it back in the day.

Anyways, Sleep is Connected Standby. Put your SP3 to sleep, and it's actually in Connected Standby. When I press my power button, or simply close the Type Cover, it goes into Connected Standby.

Hi all,

I have solved this issue!

It had arisen because I enabled hyper-v, which forced the surface to hibernate when the power button was pressed.

Once hyper-v was disabled, the power button put the surface back to sleep (instantgo mode)

yay!
