System will not sleep with open App
I have a new ASUS ET2702IGTH with 8 to 8.1.1. [DEL]I have noticed some strange behavior when using the Winkey+X menu to shutdown or sleep the unit. If I use the power button on the Start Page, it operates correctly.
[/DEL]
Edit: After testing I have realized however the system is requested to enter sleep results in a Shutdown, after about 2 or 3 minutes, when an APP such as Bing Weather is open. This means open with an icon on the Taskbar . If it is only partially open, with the Task Manger showing the app, the system will not shutdown or sleep.
[DEL]But using the Winkey menu, a Shutdown results in a shutdown, but takes several minutes. If I select Sleep, the unit shuts down. Since it appears there must be some difference in the command issued by the different power buttons, does anyone know how to compare the two options to see what might be going on?
[/DEL]
I do not know if this situation might introduce some type of problem on a system, but since the behavior is different, the system might be left in an unusual condition.
I have not tried the options from the Charms bar. McAfee is currently on this system since it was part of the bloatware. Possibly its behavior is different for the two shutdown options.
Just thought you folks may be getting bored ...
