Hibernate and sleep problem?
When I set my PC to hibernate or sleep, it no longer works the way it used to.
It basically shuts down completely.
How can I fix this?

Hi mobile1
First thing I would do is head to advance power options and reset plan to defaults. Restart and test.
Test.
If that does not work I would shut off hibernation.
At a command prompt(admin) or Powershell(admin) enter
powercfg -h off
Restart and test. If that does not fix turn hibernation back on by replacing off with on in the command above.
If things still aren't right lets try (Command prompt(admin) or Powershell(Admin))
powercfg -a
This will list what sleeps states are and aren't supported.

Thank you but none of these worked.
OK, Standby (S3) is available, this should allow Sleep.
Type powercfg -hibernate on to enable hibernation, then see what powercfg -a says is now available.
Try again, the correct command is:
powercfg -hibernate on
That error code 0x65b occurs if you try to run the command as a standard user. You must open a Command Prompt or Powershell as an administrator to be able to run powercfg -hibernate on
Your Powershell was not run as administrator, if it had been it would have said 'Administrator: Windows Powershell' on its title bar.
