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

Anonymous

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...

    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.

    First check the Power Scheme settings following the upgrade.

    All SP3's with Windows 10 have this problem no matter whether it is upgraded or clean installed. You know why? because Windows 10 released on 7/29 is essentially a preview edition full of bugs such as the 4 hour hibernation problem. Windows 10 is the worst edition of Windows since Windows 95 in the sense that it is supposed to release two or three months later for bug fix. It is a shame that Microsoft dare to release such a draft OS to users.

    Clare, don't pretend to provide such tech support, it just does not work.

    The only thing we can do is reverting to windows 8.1 or waiting for Windows 10 SR1.
