Windows 10: Hibernate mode no longer working in Windows 10

For many years, I used sleep mode in between sessions so that my apps would retain their open windows and files. Then when sleep mode stopped working and causing my computer to freeze requiring a hard boot, https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-power/sleep-mode-causes-windows-10-laptop-to-freeze/6a47b1dc-64e6-4833-9000-e654a1148cb7?rtAction=1658876913817 I switched to using the hibernate mode. Hibernate mode would allow me to do what sleep mode used to do and it would allow me to keep apps and files open while powering down my computer between sessions. Now hibernat

Hibernate mode

I have my laptop set to hibernate mode when I close the lid. It worked fine with Windows 8 but since the upgrade to Windows 10 the laptop has no power after closing the lid and opening it hours later. In settings, it does show that it is suppose to go
into hibernate mode when lid is closed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

Hibernate no longer working for desktop PC

I always disable Fast start.
It makes it harder to interrupt start from shutdown [Bios & Boot menu keys only work when the maker's logo is onscreen]. I appreciate that it makes no difference to restart.

I'm amazed that I have not suggested re-installing your display driver - not just check for an update, re-install.
In Windows 7 it was the standard first step when there was a sleep/hibernate problem.

I should also suggest testing in a different user account [even if you have to make one for the test] in case it is some strange corruption in your current user account.

Windows 10 - Will not hibernate after prolonged use, previous fix for 10016 worked for awhile, but no longer fixes hibernate issue.

Hi,

I would suggest that you to disable and re-enable hibernate mode and check if it helps.

Follow these steps and check if it helps:

a) Press Windows Key +W, type "Shutdown Settings"

b) Click the "Settings" Icon on the right of the screen.

c) Click "Change what the power buttons do" on the left of the screen.

d) Click on the drop down menu bedsides “When I press the power button”.

e) Select shut down from the drop down list.

f) Click on Save changes.

g) Restart the computer and follow the same steps to select Hibernate from the drop down list besides “When I press the power button”.

h) Put the computer into hibernate mode and check if it saves the work that you had performed.

Method 2:

I would suggest you to create a new power plan and check if you get the same issue on the new power plan as well.
You can refer to the link to create another power plan:
"Power plans: Frequently asked questions"
Follow the section "Can I create a power plan?"
