AI Activity Indicator (on Touchpad) stays ON during Sleep mode in Acer Swift AI Copilot 14 AMD

Since the latest Microsoft update, I’ve noticed that the AI Activity Indicator remains ON at various times, even when no AI-related applications are in use.

Strangely, the indicator continues to show activity even during Sleep mode, which seems unusual.

Could the system be processing voice commands by unintentionally picking up surrounding noise? I haven’t been able to identify any specific processes utilising the NPU.

For reference, my laptop is only two months old—Acer Swift AI Copilot 14 AMD.

I’d appreciate any insights or troubleshooting steps you can provide.
