If your computer is locked, that means that your computer is running but that you will be prompted for a password when you go to use it next. In this case, Steam will continue downloading your games as long as the computer is running, e.g. unless the computer falls asleep.
- For PC on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'If I put my computer into sleep mode, will it continue with Chrome's downloads?'
- A new video appears to reveal the Nintendo Switch will download games faster from the eShop when it's left in sleep mode.
If you put your computer to sleep manually or if it falls asleep automatically after a while, that means that your computer's CPU and some other components more or less turn off. If your computer is asleep, all of your running programs are effectively paused in a suspended state, and Steam will definitely not download games.
Maximillian LaumeisterWhen the system is on sleep, it pauses the download. Because the sleep mode is for saving resources like power. So all the stuff goes to suspend mode. The system must be in running mode for.
Maximillian LaumeisterI did it last night and I can 100% confirm that, yes, they will download in sleep mode on PC.
