Windows 10: Closes apps and shuts down instead of Hibernating

I have been facing this issue that whenever I hibernate my laptop from the Power Button menu in startor Alt+F4 the laptop shows Locking but when I power on my laptop the next day, I find all apps like teams and stuff closed and hence have to restart all apps in order to resume my work. I use my laptop daily hence prefer hibernating, but instead of choosing the same it still shuts down1. I have set that it auto hibernates after 3 hours of closing laptop lid but this issue is even when I *CHOOSE* hibernate from shut down menu2. ran power troubleshooter which only fixed sleep time. Any helps

:)

 

Windows shuts down incorrectly, instead of hibernating or sleeping.

I have an MSI Apache GE72 6QD Pro and I am having issues with the ability to use both sleep and hibernate mode. Every time I select these options in the power menu, instead of going into these power states the system actually shuts off. I have tried the
following:

• Updating my BIOS to the most recent version.
• Creating a new power plan.
• Going into an elevated CMD window and typing "powercfg /h on".
• Checking for driver updates of all important drivers.

And still the issue persists. It seems that the computer tries to go into the selected state and then does a hard shut down (firefox knows that it has been closed as if the power button was held for 5 seconds, instead of the proper shutdown method). The
silly thing is that "Shut down" works perfectly fine, and actually closes open programs properly before turning off the system. The other two options seem to only force a shut down.

 

Hibernate does not work, just locks the computer instead of it shutting down
