I finally got my car back and I have been messing with the power settings. Here is what I have going on. My M2-ATX is set to 5sec/2hour.

Here are the 3 options I tried so far and the results.

When I set my pc to "when I press the power button" in control panel to standby It will seem to work fine, I havent tested it after the 2 hours (about to do that in an hour or so) but the issue I have is when I get back in the car and start it, touch the screen it comes back from standby but streetdeck is closed?

When I set my pc to "when I press the power button" in control panel to hibernate and enable hibernate in the tab. I shut off the car, waited about 2minutes, started it back up and it would not boot correctly.

When I set my pc to "when I press the power button" in control panel to shutdown it seemed to work fine. I had it set like this yesterday, after 2 hours everything was shutoff just as planned.

Now my question is this, if you set it for standby, so after 5 seconds after shutting off my car the pc should go into standby, and after sitting for 2 hours it should shut down. If this is the case exactly what process does it go about when shutting down, after the 2hours is it shut down correctly or is it like a cold boot like you yanked the plug?

Thanks in advance.
