Enabling "Windows Sandbox" via "Windows Features" makes Host OS (Win 11) unable to enter Hibernation. (straight back to the login screen)
Environment:
Hardware: Dell 7920T
OS: Windows 11 Professional for Workstation 22H2 Clean Install from MS official image (+Latest Update)
OS: Windows 11 Professional for Workstation 22H2 Updated from Dell official Windows 10 (+Latest Update)
Still could be hardware related but both Win11 failed to enter hibernation with enabling "Windows Sandbox" feature, until re-disabling it.
Initially, I thought it was my fault due to my faulty custom install image but as it turned out, the stock image does have the same problem.
The troubleshooting (tens of iterations of custom OS installation with different configurations) only cost me several weekends and I've aged (literally)! ha-ha.

Thank you for trying me out of my issue!
After the above post, I tried a clean installation from the same image on another workstation from the other maker, which does not share hardware components, and it does not have the same problem.
So, it might be hardware related (hardware itself or UEFI/BIOS, firmware, driver, and their settings) problem.
But back to 7920T (which caused this problem) and installed some additional software (for my work) on it, the problem magically disappeared.
So, I can not do any further investigation.
I'm sorry because I could not be informative.
Bugs which disappear with no obvious solution are so disconcerting.
I'd like to know the cause of this problem. but, you know, it occasionally happens.
