Windows 10: Selecting hibernate causes the next boot to fail

Windows 10 version: 21H2Since "not very long" didn't happen before, and I don't think I updated since either if selecting hibernate the computer shuts down, but then starting the computer back up e.g. by pressing spacebar then results in the computer freezing at the "screen with the motherboard logo".Then holding the power button untill the computer shuts down and then powering on the computer consistently caused booting to succeed without exception and windows 10 then resumes from hibernate just fine with all applications still open.

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

Proper Boot up of Windows 10 Pro Prompts Hibernation, Why?

Hi Robert,

A corrupted startup file is possibly causing your PC to go into hibernate mode after boot up. I will need additional information to properly address your concern. Kindly answer the following questions:

• When did the issue start?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• Can you tell the current OS Build of your Windows 10 PC? Select the
  Start button, go to
  Settings > System >
  About. Scroll down to Windows specifications to find this information.

To find out if an installed program is possibly causing the unwanted hibernation after boot up, I suggest performing a clean boot. A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software
conflicts after you boot your Windows 10 device. You can find the steps on how to perform a clean boot in Windows 10 from this

article. You can also check our for a step-by-step guide.

NOTE: Please go to the section:
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the PC in normal startup after fixing the issue.

If the issue remains even after performing a clean boot, I recommend following the methods provided by
Likhitha V from this
thread. He provided steps on how to perform a Startup repair using a Windows 10 installation media.

Let me know how it goes.
