Windows 10: Hibernation causing a lot of problems

My computer won't wake up from hibernation in Windows 10
My computer recently stopped emerging from hibernation for no apparent reason and forced me to do hard reboots before functioning. I went to Device Manager as you suggested and unticked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in 5 places: 2 Generic USB Hubs, 2 USB Root Hub and 1 USB Root Hub USB 3.0. That immediately resolved my issue. Thank you so much!


Unfortunately, this did not work for me. First, even though I have enabled Hibernate as one of the shutdown options, the machine does not remain shut off - the power light comes back on, flickering. At that point, nothing I do with keyboard or mouse brings up a live screen. If I press the power button enough times, the machine restarts, having closed everything I had open. That is the opposite of what I expect from hibernation - I want the power fully off, and when I turn the power back on, when I log in I want everything restored as it was when I hibernated the machine. This has worked for me on other machines for years, but not now.


I even specifically allowed both keyboard and mouse to awaken the machine, but the last time I let it sleep, I again got logged out when I tried to wake it up.
