No Hibernation after 4 hours of Connected Stand-By, Windows 10, SP3

I upgraded my SP3 to Windows 10 (not enterprise).  The unit no longer goes into hibernation after 4 hours of connected standby.  With Win 8.1, the unit would hibernate after 4 hours of not being used.  I disabled Wifi during sleep, which decreased the battery power usage during sleep, but it did not solve the hibernation issue.  I liked the previous hibernation after 4 hours because the unit can sit in my bag for 8-9 hours at a time without being used. 

Has anybody else experienced this and found a solution?

Thanks...

    Nothing you mentioned helped.  Interestingly, while the unit is plugged in and charging, it will "doze to hibernate" around the 4 hour mark.  But not on battery- which is when it would be more helpful for it to hibernate! My settings are identical for "on battery" and "plugged in".  I am still not sure what the issue is, but SP3WIN10's response makes the most sense.  Essentially saying stop wasting your time and either roll back or wait for an update that fixes this, if it ever comes....

    thanks

    yes

    I can do it manually

    Hope Microsoft is fully aware this issue and provide solution as I found this function quite useful.

    Dominic, 

    That's a problem we all have with Surface Pro 3 & Windows 10. The 4hours timeout does not work at all and we hope to get a fix from Microsoft soon. That bug drives me nuts. 

    Else, you can manually hibernate.
