Hello browniebyday,
It has been adjusted by the latter BIOS long time ago....please kindly update.
Please kindly do understand that the screenpad plus worked as an external monitor to the main screen, so
it is normal for it be turned off when laptop goes to sleep, then of course all windows go to main screen.
With the new BIOS, we keep the screenpad plus not fully turned off, so of course, more battery consumption.
Thank you.
