Windows 10: Ethernet turns off every time i hibernate/reboot.

Hello, I have windows 10 and recently started using an Ethernet connection.I keep my cable plugged in, but everytime i hibernate or restart my PC, the ethernet is not detected.The only way to get the ethernet connection working again is to physically remove the cable and plug it back in.Any reason why this is happening? I only just noticed this because i have been a lifelong wifi user and recently switched to wired internet

Cannot turn off hibernation

We have two relatively new identical HP ProDesk 400s running Windows 10. The computers often go into hibernation over night, preventing us from being able to log in remotely, and we can't shut off that feature. Our IT guy is also baffled. We have tried:



Turning off hibernation in Windows

Turning off hibernation in a command shell being run as administrator

Changing the Windows power settings to high performance

Updating Windows, drivers, BIOS

Turning off power saving options in the BIOS

Deleting Energy Star

Setting the BIOS to have the computer wake up every morning at 7:00 automatically



Basically, we have tried everything that makes any intuitive sense and anything the intertubes suggested we do. All HP could suggest in addition is reinstalling Windows, which is a bigger step than we would like to take.

 

Battery drain in hibernation

This is a volunteers forum. We cannot fix anything for you!

I would start by taking these steps:

1. Put Windows into hibernation.
2. Get it out of hibernation.
3. Check the time stamp of the hidden file C:\Hiberfil.sys. Does it reflect the time when you took Step 1 above? If it does not then the machine was not in hibernation.
4. Before going to bed, make a note of the battery charge.
5. Switch the machine off and unplug the power cord.
6. Next morning, before plugging in the power cord but after turning it on, make another note of the battery charge. If there is a noticeable discharge then you have a leaky battery or a problem with the motherboard. Windows can't be the culprit because it
   was off all night.

 

Hibernate, Windows Update and Power On

Hi Robin,

Windows Update regularly reboots your computer to apply the changes made on your computer. Since that your computer is set on hibernate mode, we suggest that you schedule a time to restart your PC after downloading the update. Please be reminded that if
there is a new update, it will be automatically downloads but the changes will only apply after a reboot. Please follow this step to set the time to restart your PC:

• Click on Start.
• Open Settings.
• Click on Update & Security.
• Make sure that you are on the Windows Update tab.
• Under Update settings, click on Restart options link.
• Under Schedule a time, toggle the slider to On and set a time.

Let us know if you have other concerns.
