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....

    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.
