It enables S0 Low Power Idle mode (a.k.a. Modern Standby, including Connected Standby and Disconnected Standby) on your computer. It makes Windows experience on old MacBooks better by providing:
- Near-instant screen on when you open the lid
- The ability to play music when the lid is closed

This is not an end-user product. This is pure experimental.
S0ix might not be fully supported by your hardware, firmware or operating system. Enabling S0ix might overheat your device and cause fire in extreme environments. The developer is not responsible for anything that happen to you or your computer.
Other things that might happen depending on your hardware configuration:
- Windows fail to boot
- Unable to wake up from sleep
- Mobile discrete GPU refuse to shutdown during sleep
- Desktop discrete GPU refuse to turn on after wake up
- USB devices unavailable after wake up
- Faster power drain during sleep
- Fan not stopping during sleep
- Fan not spinning after wake up
- A UEFI firmware (some old EFI firmwares might be supported as well)
- A CPU supporting S0ix (Intel Haswell/4th gen core or later, AMD Picasso/Ryzen 3 mobile or later)
- Firmware has S0ix disabled (otherwise you don't need this; use
powercfg /aon Windows to check) - If you have rotational storage connected, enable IgnoreCsComplianceCheck for Connected Standby (otherwise Disconnected Standby only)
Run S0ixEnabler.efi either manually or automatically before your OS loads.
Put a release build of S0ixEnabler.efi into ESP:\EFI\refind\drivers_%ARCH% and reboot.
