Hibernation not working when virtualization enabled

I recently installed Windows 11 on my second NVMe drive, the Kingston KC2500, replacing the Plextor M9PeG. However, I encountered an issue with hibernation not working properly. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that enabling core isolation, VM platform, or hypervisor platform caused hibernation to fail. When attempting to hibernate the PC, the screen would go black, but the PC wouldn't turn off, and after a while, it would go back to the login screen. As a result, I had to disable fast startup to avoid the screen lock issue upon shutdown.

Any idea how can I resolve this hibernation issue?

Tried reinstalling Windows again using another USB stick, but still no luck.
