Timer Value: When the Rapid Start Timer is enabled, the timer value (in
minutes) can be configured to specify how long the system should wait in sleep
before transitioning to Rapid Start low-power mode. If a value of 0 is specified, the
system will transition immediately to Rapid Start low-power mode whenever sleep
is requested.

Low (Critical) Battery Enable: When the Rapid Start feature is enabled (above),
this option can be used to force the system into Rapid Start low-power mode
whenever the battery level drops below 3% during sleep.

NOTE:

Not available on all systems. When disabled or not present, the

default Windows critical battery action will function normally.
