    Laptop shuts down abruptly instead of hibernating

    I have Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52 laptop running 64 bit windows 10 Home Single Language, 21H2, build 19044.1889. Since almost a week, I have been having multiple instances when my laptop shuts down abruptly instead of hibernating. Sometimes it hibernates normally but most of the times it gets shutdown abruptly instead of hibernating. Running sfc /scannow showed no errors.

    I searched online and it's common issue.

    I followed methods no. 3 (changing power settings) and 5 (Prevent your PC to turn off USB devices in order to save power) and 6 (use default power plans) given here but still no success.


    FIX: Windows 10/11 shuts down instead of hibernating/sleep

    The BIOS is updated and I don't have any motionjoy drivers installed.

    Method no. 1 and 2 look risky and I feel that I accidentally might break some important system setting. Is there any other method that I can use to let my laptop hibernate normally?

    Laptop shuts down abruptly instead of hibernating

    What triggers the laptop to enter on the hibernation state? Is it a CMD, closing lid or low battery?

    How much free disk space you have on the main drive?

    Does it have two drives: 1TB-SATA HDD and one 250 GB Samsung EVO NVMe - M.2 SSD
