> Perhaps this was designed for Outlook, but I think the use case is dubious.

Oh, sweet summer child. I sometimes use Windows on my work machine, complete with the "new" Teams and "new" Outlook. For some reason, these need a while to update when I wake my machine from sleep, even though it usually sleeps connected to power, with a network cord plugged in and in range of Wi-Fi. Teams, in particular, will say it's offline for a few minutes, even though I can browse the web as soon as the box actually becomes interactive.

The computer actually does something while asleep, judging by how hot it gets. But, as you say, it's really not clear what. It will do this even though Defender is deactivated (we have some other handbrake at work which doesn't do a full system scan on its own) and the system is fully up-to-date.
