Windows 10: System will not go into hibernate state from sleep state

There is a issue on my system, my power setting as below. when my system was in sleep state, I found it would be awakened to desktop instead of went into hibernate state after 180 minutes. If I disable the RTC wake support for hibernate，the system could went into hibernate state.

Activate sleep states after Win10 install

I have just bought a new PC from a PC Builder, but they disabled all the power savings settings in the BIOS, and I think that affected the ability to use any of the sleep states because that was the state whilst windows was installing.

I first noticed a problem when I tried to change the power button settings I noticed that Sleep was missing:

I tried the Change Settings that are currently unavailable option but that made no difference.

So I then tried
powercfg /a which returned the following:

I assumed that the BIOS settings must be disabled and that after enabling them I would see those missing states, but its still the same.

Someone recommended activating the Hibernate, they thought that would fix it but all it did is add some rows to the top of the report

My motherboard is an ASUS Z270-K, does anyone have any suggestions other than a reinstall?

 

sleep or hibernate

sleep and hibernate are the same thing now.


S3 'sleep' has the entire system powered off, EXCEPT for system ram. a copy of ram is stored on the HDD when entering sleep.
To answer the OP's question about the HDD taking wear and tear moving the laptop around - in sleep mode, it is powered off. ONLY system RAM has power in S3 sleep states.

Hibernate is when it loses power, it boots from the saved copy of ram. Often, this can load slower than a fresh boot since it has to load more from the HDD than usual.


so asking which you prefer... well, unless its a laptop you plan to store overnight or something, use sleep. its the same thing.

S3 sleep drains my laptop battery at only 2-3% an hour, so its not like its going to have a large impact on daily use.

 

sleep or hibernate

I think you have sleep and hibernate confused... sleep just puts the computer in a low power state, making resuming the session faster... hibernate shuts down the whole computer and basically just saves whats in RAM to the hdd and loads it on next startup. IIRC...
