Windows 10: Windows update causing power problem in hibernate

I have a Lenovo Y70-70 that's been running Windows 10 for a few years. Most of the time hibernate works properly (and it's definitely hibernate, not sleep). However, if Windows downloads an update and I delay the restart required, it causes problems during hibernate. About 10 seconds after the hibernation sequence completes, the illuminated keyboard begins to flash very briefly once every few seconds, the SSD produces a faint, high pitched beeping noise, and the battery drains from full to zero after around 24 hours.


Installing the downloaded update and rebooting fixes the problem, and I can then hibernate normally, until the next delayed update.


However, a few days ago I installed the 1903 update and since then the problem happens every time I hibernate, even after all updates have been installed and the computer has been rebooted numerous times. Uninstalling 1903 has fixed the problem for now, but I'd really like to find out what's causing it and solve the issue permanently.
