Hi Hank Rogers,

I own a very old desktop (circa 2009) which cannot load Windows 11, so my
power options are limited. Given those constraints, below is my syslog of
related testable setup. Note some items in the questionnaire are events and
therefore not pre-settable, hence, they are not testable.

Enter an admin prompt:
Win+R > cmd {Shift+Ctrl+Enter} > UAC = Yes

Start a system log:
C:\> cmd /k > c:\tmp\syslog.txt 2>&1

For A (shutdown), B (restart), C (sleep), D (hibernate), F (faststartup)
and H (lock screen behavior):
C:\> powercfg /a

For E (hybrid sleep):
C:\> powercfg /query SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_SLEEP HYBRIDSLEEP

For G (wake credentials):
C:\> powercfg /query SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_NONE CONSOLELOCK

For I (Laptop-lid behavior):
C:\> powercfg /query SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_BUTTONS LIDACTION

For pagefile size:
C:\> wmic pagefile list /format:list

To exit logging:
C:\> exit

To view the log:
C:\> type c:\tmp\syslog.txt

Here are my results of the survey, which may benefit others.

 C:\tmp>The following sleep states are available on this system:
     Standby (S1 S3)

 The following sleep states are not available on this system:
     Standby (S2)
         The system firmware does not support this standby state.

     Hibernate
         Hibernation has not been enabled.

     Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)
         The system firmware does not support this standby state.

     Hybrid Sleep
         Hibernation is not available.

     Fast Startup
