Windows 10: unreliable waking from hibernate/sleep since 2004 update, Win10 Pro x64 AU

Hello.

I have an old i4670 Win10 Pro x64 which has been dead set reliable for 5 years or more ... until circa the Win10 2004 update.


The PC has always been set to hibernate when it's idle for 10 mins, to save power.

It's been reliable, like an atomic clock ... until now.


A java app and wakes it from hibernate by setting wake timers, to do certain things at certain all-over-the-place times of the day and where the wake-up times change every day.

Since the update, the PC only randomly wakes but more often than not stays in hibernate.

I've
- re-flashed the bios and reset its options
- wiped and fresh clean-installed Win10 Pro x64
- turned hibernate off and on loads of times
- checked powercfg -lastwake and powercfg -waketimers that the wake timers set do look ok yes
- tried using sleep instead of hibernate no change, it remains in sleep
- reset power scheme relevant settings unset then set to ensure they "stuck"
- checked Event Logs nothing bad shows

It just just doesn't wake reliably since the Win10 2004 update – more often than not it just stays asleep/hibernates.

Any one else experience anything like this after the Win10 2004 update ?

Advice would be appreciated.

I wondered if it was just old h/w – but to buy cheap bits and a win10 license costs circa AU$800 to AU$1,000 to get just about the same spec, even when re-using the old case, psu, gpu. Wow.
That's a lot of money to drop on just a hope new h/w would fix the not-waking-up issue.

How to prevent waking from Hibernation but allow waking from Sleep

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your effort there, however I use both sleep and hibernation modes. I need to be able to wake the computer from sleep mode using the keyboard or mouse but I don't want hibernation to behave like sleep mode waking at every mouse or keyboard touch.
I would be happy to have hibernation never wake until I press the power button (although it also seems like a reasonable idea for it to wake to do overnight updates and then go back into hibernation, but I don't know how to make it go back to sleep afterwards).

My older Windows 10 PC does not wake from hibernation with the keyboard or mouse movement and I haven't been able to find out why my new PC does. The older one also wakes from hibernation at night for windows updates but then stays on until morning. I don't
want either of them staying on after updates.

I'm sorry if I'm expecting too much with a couple of different questions there.

Many thanks!

Phil

BSOD/Slow wake when waking from sleep/hibernation

Any suggestions?
This BSOD is continuing and happening more frequently...
It has to point where it is pointless to sleep/hibernate as it crashes everytime when waking up... having to shutdown everytime and booting up takes ages
