    Hi Gspratap-8386,

    It sounds like there's a power-saving setting switched on that has carried over from Windows 7 to WIndows 11. To switch off hibernation, please do the following:

    Launch the Start menu, search for Control Panel and select the Best match.
    Click on System and Security, and then under Power Options, click on Change what the power buttons do.
    Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
    Under Shutdown settings, deselect the Hibernate checkmark and then finally click on Save changes to enable hibernate mode on Windows 11.

    Here’s how you can adjust the hibernation settings on Windows 11:

    Open the Start menu, search for Control Panel and select the Best match.
    Click on System and Security and then click on Power Options.
    For the currently selected power plan, click on Change plan settings and then select Change advanced power settings to open the Power Options dialogue box.
    Expand the Sleep options and then expand Hibernate after options.
    Adjust the required On Battery and Plugged in hibernation mode timings.
    To make your changes permanent, click on Apply and then click OK.

    I had a similar problem.

    I mean my fresh system was waking up itself when was at sleep state and hibernate after time.

    Sollution for me was:

    1. Open Control Panel
    2. move to System and Security
    3. move to Power Options
    4. click on "Change plan settings"
    5. click on "Change advanced power settings"
    6. expand Sleep
    7. expand Sleep and also Hibernate and set these options up in the way you actually need

    Update the drivers , once done run Power troubleshooter:

    Press Win+I to open the Windows Settings panel.
    Make sure that you are in the System tab.
    Click on the Troubleshoot menu on the right side.
    Click on the Other troubleshooters option.
    Find the Power troubleshooter and click the Run button.
    Follow the screen's instructions.
