My computer will not hibernate anymore (it turns straight back on)

Hello, I'm Louie, and I'm happy to help you today. Hope you're doing well and safe there. I'm sorry that you're having trouble with your laptop not hibernating.

I would suggest you to follow these methods:

Method 1:How to fix hibernation using Power Troubleshooter

You can use the Power Troubleshooter to automatically resolve many common power problems, which also fix issues with the Hibernate option.

Open Settings.

Click on Update & Security.

Click on Troubleshoot.

Under “Troubleshoot,” select the Power option.

Click the Run the troubleshooter button.

Continue with the on-screen directions to fix the hibernation problem.

Once you’ve completed the steps, using the Hibernate option on Windows 10 again to see if it works.

Method 2:How to fix hibernation using disabling Fast Startup

Using the Fast Startup option is usually the root of many power related problems on Windows 10. You can use the following steps to disable this option to see if it fixes your problem.

Open Control Panel.

Click on Hardware and Sound.

Click on Power Options.

On the left pane, click the Choose what the power buttons do link.

Click the Change settings that are currently unavailable link.

Under “Shutdown settings,” clear the Turn on fast startup option.

Click the Save Changes button.

After completing the steps, restart your computer, wait a few minutes, and then try to hibernate again.

If issue still continues, try to reset the power plans from your Windows 10 computer, or to delete your custom power plan – in case you have created one.

Go to your Start Screen and press “Wind + R” keyboard keys > in the Run box enter “control”. This will launch the Control Panel window.

Choose “Power Options” followed by “Edit Plan Settings”.

From there just select and delete the custom power plan or reset the default power plans that are featured on your Windows 10 device.

Hope this helps and looking forward for good results.

Kind regards,

Louie

 

Cannot turn off hibernation

We have two relatively new identical HP ProDesk 400s running Windows 10. The computers often go into hibernation over night, preventing us from being able to log in remotely, and we can't shut off that feature. Our IT guy is also baffled. We have tried:



Turning off hibernation in Windows

Turning off hibernation in a command shell being run as administrator

Changing the Windows power settings to high performance

Updating Windows, drivers, BIOS

Turning off power saving options in the BIOS

Deleting Energy Star

Setting the BIOS to have the computer wake up every morning at 7:00 automatically



Basically, we have tried everything that makes any intuitive sense and anything the intertubes suggested we do. All HP could suggest in addition is reinstalling Windows, which is a bigger step than we would like to take.

 

Hibernation and the Lack Thereof

Hi,

The hiberfil.sys takes too much of space on your hard drive if the hibernation is on. However, it's odd that even trying to turn the hibernation off using the command prompt, goes to no avail. We suggest that you turn off the Power management in Services
before deleting the file in the drive C. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Press the Windows icon + R on your keyboard.
• Type in Services.msc.
• Look for Power.
• Right-click on it, then select Stop.
• Close the Dialog box, launch command prompt with admin rights.
• Type in powercfg -h off
• Close the command prompt, then try to delete the hiberfil.sys again.
