In my case, my system would reboot. What I did was disable the "wake up" feature for the keyboard and mouse. Sometimes, though, the system won't hibernate if certain programs are running or are still in memory, like feed readers.

Some programs can interfere with standby and hibernation. Vote if answered or helpful, I am running for Office (joke)! IT/Developer, Windows/Linux/Mainframe I also am a true vegan and I am very good with economics and I used to play chess at 2400++

Hi, Based on my research, this issue can be caused by hardware conflicted or incompatible third party programs. I suggest we first unplug all unnecessary device, such as printer and external device. However, if the issue persists, please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Click the Start Button, type "cmd" (without quotation marks), right click on the "Cmd.exe" in the search result list and select "Run as administrator". 2. Type "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed" (without quotation marks) in the open window and press Enter Key. 3. A list of the configured devices to wake the computer will be received, then please type the following command to disable them in order to avoid waking up the computer. Powercfg -devicedisablewake "devicename" Note: "devicename" is a device name listed as a result of running the first command. For example, if the network card "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet" is listed, we can type the following command to disable it and press Enter. Powercfg -devicedisablewake "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet" 4. Please repeat the steps for other devices in the list. 5. Reboot the computer and check this issue again. What's the result now? If the issue still occurs, please type the following command and post the result for further research. 1. Click the Start Button, type "cmd" (without quotation marks), right click on the "Cmd.exe" in the search result list and select "Run as administrator". 2. Type "powercfg -lastwake" (without quotation marks) in the open window and press Enter Key.
