Windows 10: power button and hibernate query

When I quickly press the Power Button on my laptop, it is set to go into Hibernate. Two times lately, it seemingly is going into Hibernate, the machine powers down and suddenly it comes right back out of what should be Hibernate.

The first time it did this, I rebooted the machine and the problem disappeared. Then last night, it did the same thing again, so after a reboot, pressing the Power Button works correctly.

Obviously something is awry though, so thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else is experiencing this & of course, has a fix for it.
