Many thanks... both for your time and excellent info.. I had reduced hibfil because I only wanted Fast Start (back in November - CZ I only ever really need to power my pc off ) and had either not read or forgotten that the reduction crippled hibernate function. I am happy with Fast start storing info in hibfil and I think I will now simply set SLEEP to 'never' to temporarily avoid the other problems and hope I can remember to put it back when MS fixes sleep. I have a notion to flush out hibfil (by removing and letting Win 10 recreate) as I feel some of the issues we all experience are due to the info stored in hibfil and used in power up sequence.
Have a nice week and again I really appreciate your help and time.
