Windows 10: Hibernate Enabled but Timed Hibernate Not Working

My Windows 11 system used to hibernate after timeout. But some time in the last month or so, that no longer works. Sleep timeout still works.Hibernation appears in the Start menu, and when selected the machine does hibernate.However, hibernation no lonter appears in Power Options / Advanced Settings, even though Power Options / System Settings has it turned on:Hibernate timeout can be set using powercfg, and hibernate shows as enabled in the registry,but the system does not hibernate after the selected time.Any suggestions?

Missing hibernate button

Hi Yusak,

We would like to isolate this issue that you're having right now. Will you be able to provide the exact error message that you recieved?

To make hibernation available, follow these steps:

• Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
• In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
• When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
• At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate on, and then press Enter.
• Type exit, and then press Enter to close the Command Prompt window.

We will wait for your response.

Hibernating on my XP pro system doesn't work

Can anyone help me please?
I have just reloaded XP Pro on my system using the same software as before, no new hardware or software has been introduced.

Since doing this the system appears to go through the Hibernation process as it closes, but when I start again by pressing the Power button the system goes through the normal start up, not the quicker hibernate mode.

I have selected Enable Hibernate in the Control Panel>Power options?

Any constructve suggestions out there?
