Windows 10: Taking too long to hibernate after clean install of 2004

So I have recently upgraded to 2004 from 1703( i have been on that for the last 3 years). I realised that when I hibernate my laptop it take a long time to actually hibernate. The screen goes off immediately but I can clearly listen to the fan on its full speed and I can see the processer led blinking as well for a solid 5 minutes. While I was on verion 1703 , it took only a couple if seconds. I am very sure that It went into hibernate because I used a dual boot setup and I used to switch between linux and windows quite often. It took approx 30 to 40 seconds to switch from windows to linux as soon as I put it into hibernate.

But now, once I put it into hibernate I have to wait till the process completes and it is quite longer that usual.

Did anybody face the same issue or anyone who has insight on it ?

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

How long does the 2004 upgrade take using Windows Update?

A year ago I asked (and answered) the same question for 1903. Having just let Window Update successfully upgrade the same machine I used for those tests I can say that the answer remains the same. Times for each step were almost identical - over four hours from start to a working desktop.

How long does the 1903 upgrade take using Windows Update?


My recommendation: unless you really need to see the Feature Update listed in update history, then download the ISO and use that to upgrade.
