My curiosity comes not from whether or not Windows can suspends as quickly as Steam so much, but rather if it can do so quickly and consistently.

My particular use case involves being able to reliably kill the game with a single button push and have it quickly start back up again without loss of data or the game having continued to run in the meantime. For instance, the thing that wowed me about Steam OS was that I could suspend in the middle of a cut scene and not worry about pausing things or the like, and the game would restart in the middle of the cut scene with no issues. I have never had the game crash, or a save become corrupted. I have never had my character die due to time having elapsed during the time it took for the system to hibernate or get back to the game.

From what I have heard, while Windows can suspend, it is not with the same level of consistency between games, nor with the same level of certainty that the game will not crash when you get back into it. So, that is why I asked to see the suspend feature multiple times in the same shot. It’s about consistency.

But I will not bother you for more. This was a simple curiosity. I have no real reason to install Windows, so regardless of it working or not, I won’t be doing it. I was just momentarily curious.

Mind posting a video of doing a few times in rapid succession? I am curious to see it for myself.
