    Hello,

    There are many possible reasons for this hibernation and sleep not working issue. The most common causes are

    hibernating/password

    Hello Rich,

    One possible reason why your system keeps hibernating or goes to sleep is because of the power plan settings of your computer. To assist you with your concern regarding your PC hibernating, we recommend that you reconfigure the power plan settings by following
    the steps below:

    • Type Display on Cortana's search field and press
      Enter.
    • Select Power & sleep.
    • Under the Sleep option, click the drop down menu to set the number of minutes/hours you would like your PC to sleep/hibernate. We suggest that you select
      Never if you do not want you system to hibernate.
    • Close all windows for the changes to take effect.

    Let us know if you will need further assistance.

    Power settings(sleep, hibernate) do not work

    Sleep and Hibernation

    I have Dell Latitude E6410. The sleep and hibernation function worked extremely well under Windows 7. I have upgraded to Windows 10 and it no longer works. I can manually put computer into sleep/hibernation but it will NOT automatically do it after specified
    period of time. I have checked all my power settings and they are correct. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
