Windows 10: Hibernate being faulty after version 1803?

I had noticed this problem for a couple of weeks. I've had hard time doing a hibernate on my PC every now and then after I did an upgrade to version 1803. The problem is sometimes when I hibernate my PC, it doesn't do its job. My monitor and peripherals would turn off however the system itself would still have power. I have to force shutdown or restart it to have my PC power off. It seems that there's no pattern on when this problem would occur. Sometimes 2/3 or 5/6 days after the previous instance.

The update to version 1803 may not actually be the problem but I associate the problem with it since I had no issues doing hibernation before that update
