Windows 10 all "power button" options set to Hibernate, occasionally sleeps instead

I have all my "power button" options set to Hibernate. Most of the time, the system hibernates as it should. Occasionally, it decides to sleep instead, and the power button blinks. It will then not wake up, and I have to do a cold reboot. When I then look at the power button options, they all say hibernate. Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 won't go sleep after pushing down power button on the desktop (changed the button to Sleep in Power & Sleep Setting)

Thank you for the reply! I didn't expect somebody would give me so detailed instructions. It feels heartwarming.

Sorry for the bad grammar and misspelled words, I am still learning this language.

I did all 4 steps you wrote above, including:

1. Resetting power scheme to the default – Now when I press the power button it will shut down completely.
   
2. Troubleshooting – Found no issue.
   
3. Changing the option in the Choose What the Power Buttons Do page – Found Hibernate is also not working.
   
4. Clean boot: - Disabled all the things you mentioned and restarted the PC.
   
5. I also changed the multimedia settings under the Advanced settings tab in the Power Options window(I see this is suggested by many people on this forum)
   

But it is still the same.

Either I press the physical power button on my PC or click the option in the windows power button after changing its function from Shut Down to Sleep it will just shut down the monitors, not the machine (all fans on CPU/GPU are running). And like last time if I click mouse or keyboard, the monitors will be lit up, and show the lock screen which I need to type my PIN.

Thank you!
