Windows 10: Sleep and Hibernate Slow Down of System

My laptop on start work perfectly.


But when on wake up after a sleep or hibernate, on Opening up the My Computer from the desktop, or be it creating any folder it all slows down.

The green bar keeps on going and take for ever. Sometimes on opening up it shows nothing and the folder shows Working On it.

I am not able to see my C Drive, D Drive, and this happens whenever when the laptop wakes up from Sleep or Hibernate.


Now I noticed, when I create a folder and name it, it should be appearing instantly. But it doesn't, I have click refresh if I create a folder and then the new folder appears. Again the Green bar as in the picture keeps on moving and never stops. It keeps on moving.


The laptop is using an SSD and is a new laptop, and I dont think anything is freezing it. It happens only when when it wakes up from Sleep or Hibernate.

sleep or hibernate

sleep and hibernate are the same thing now.


S3 'sleep' has the entire system powered off, EXCEPT for system ram. a copy of ram is stored on the HDD when entering sleep.
To answer the OP's question about the HDD taking wear and tear moving the laptop around - in sleep mode, it is powered off. ONLY system RAM has power in S3 sleep states.

Hibernate is when it loses power, it boots from the saved copy of ram. Often, this can load slower than a fresh boot since it has to load more from the HDD than usual.


so asking which you prefer... well, unless its a laptop you plan to store overnight or something, use sleep. its the same thing.

S3 sleep drains my laptop battery at only 2-3% an hour, so its not like its going to have a large impact on daily use.
