Windows 10: Hibernate waking at night then going back into hibernate - but only sometimes

Windows 11 Home v. 23H2For the past few months I've been needing to use hibernate a few nights/week in order keep things open at the end of the day so I can start the next day exactly where I left off. There's been a handful of times in the past 2 months where I've started up the next day and see that there's file explorer windows closed, one of the two browsers I used closed and other signs that the computer has woken from hibernate during the night, closed open "things" and then either gone to sleep after my preset 1hr, re-entered hibernate status or turned itself off is there a way to tell

S4 (hibernation) USB/network wake up

Hi,

I have this annoying problem. When my computer enters the S4 powerstate (hibernation) I can wake it up by just clicking with the mouse. Even when EuP is enabled the mouse can still wake up the computer. After a night of sleep I find the computer powered on. So not only can the mouse wake up the system, it also seems that network traffic can too.

I thought that hibernation was like power off but with the option to save the RAM to disk. At least before I always need to push the power button to boot after hibernation.

Any suggestions?

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.

 

How to wake from Hibernate

I have further developments. Last night the computer woke from hibernate during the night without any action on my part. I've checked device settings and disabled wake on mouse shake and wake on LAN. I'll give it another go.
