I have an old Samsung NB30 netbook.
It came with windows 7 starter, but I installed windows 8 on it and everything ran fine.
Now I did the upgrade to windows 10 and everthing worked fine and it was faster than the windows 8, but still sluggish because I didn't do a clean re-installation for a very long time.
Today I did a system reset (clean installation) and everything works great, so much faster except one thing: hibernation.
I don't get that option in the 'shut down' menu.
I did the following
"powercfg -h on" from the admin command line,
the hiberfil.sys is now there but I still don't get that option in the 'shut down' menu.
I don't even get the option in the "change settings that are currently unavailable" in the "advance power options"
The registry key says it's enabled.
"powercfg -a" gives me this:
C:WINDOWSsystem32>powercfg -a
The following sleep states are available on this system:
Standby (S3)
Fast Startup
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S1)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Hibernate
The hiberfile type does not support hibernation.
Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Hybrid Sleep
Hibernation is not available.
The thing is that hibernation worked fine with windows 10 before the reset.
Please help
Thanks
I guess, when you upgraded, Windows used an old driver/software, but after reset, it can not find it.
Try to find the newest drivers with: Drive The Life
The Netbooks use the Atom CPU/GPU manufactured by Intel. Majority of them will only work with Windows 7. You can get them to use Windows 8, but you will end up with BSOD's, because of certain Intel drivers for the Hard Drive. The best you can do is run Xubuntu 64bit on it, or go with Windows 7 Pro.
Driver for which device, the hard drive?I guess, when you upgraded, Windows used an old driver/software, but after reset, it can not find it.

Power management driver, but you can update any driver, which is outdated.
You said you did 'powercfg -h on', but did you try 'powercfg -h off' first and then enabling it again with the on option?
Yes I did. I event rebooted between.
Did it, but no fix.Power management driver, but you can update any driver, which is outdated.
Did you look here already?

Yes, I've been there and tried everything. Nothing solved the problem. The strange thing is that fast start works, but hibernation doesn't even though they are closely related!
