## Remarks

This function determines whether the current development console is in Connected Standby mode, whether the power mode for the console is set to support Instant On, and whether the console supports XBOX app connections. If you don't need to determine whether the console can support XBOX app connections, you can use the [IXtfConsoleControlClient::QueryConnectedStandby](/reference/tools/xtf/xtfconsolecontrol/interfaces/IXtfConsoleControlClient/methods/ixtfconsolecontrolclient_queryconnectedstandby) function instead.

For more information about querying power mode options using XBOX Tools Framework (XTF), see [Reboot (xbreboot.exe) (NDA topic)](/tools/tools-console/commandlinetools/xbreboot).
