Hibernation suddenly broke on Windows 11 24H2
Hello, guys! I have a problem - for some reason (not sure what triggered it) my computer stopped going to hibernation mode. It can go to hibernation by button, but itself it doesn't go to this state. I tried changing the user to check if there's some app is preventing it but no luck. powercfg /requests - showed nothing "NO" to everything. Performed sfc /scannow too, says system is fine. However, it just stopped working a few days ago.
I tried to set 1 min to hibernate and started checking everything, but nothing worked. In command prompt i tried all powercfg commands I know to check if it's enabled or anything. It shows that everything is right. There's also no any notification in Event Viewer related to some issue at the timestamp when PC should have gone to hibernation.
Can anyone suggest where else to look up? It's so annoying to me cause it started randomly. And yes, I don't use sleep mode cause for some reason my PC doesn't wake up properly from sleep mode so no, I can't use it instead of hibernation.
It sounds like something might have changed with your power settings. First, try resetting your power plan to default by running this command in Command Prompt as admin:
Then, check if hibernation is still enabled by running:powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
If it still doesn’t work, check if there’s any active process preventing it by running powercfg /requests again. Also, verify in Control Panel > Power Options that hibernation is enabled under your active plan settings.

What is the command to run and or why was the command removed?
*edit, I see you are talking about the restoredefault command, ti confused me that is was in the wrong line.
