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.

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.
