Uptime calendar

[delders]

Hello,
I am seeing workstations that are shutdown showing up as asleep in the uptime calendar. Has anyone else seen this and is there a solution?

If fast startup is enabled, the computer is not fully shutting down, but partially hibernating. What Lansweeper is reporting in the uptime calendar is actually correct. Perhaps we can implement a special uptime calendar state for fast startups in a future release, but I'm not sure when development might be able to look into this.

We noticed this too and after a bit if investigation discovered its caused by the "fast startup" option introduced with windows 8.

Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Choose what the power buttons do

At the bottom in the section Shutdown settings. "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" will be ticked.

While this is ticked the shutdowns will show as sleep in the LS calendar with it unticked they show as shutdown.

The uptime calendar uses data which should show what is really going on.
It might be that a shutdown actually uses an automatic sleep mode.
We've recently noticed this on Windows 8 and 10 operating systems.
