I can't get my Windows 10 machine to hibernate. Hibernation is turned on in Power Settings and I executed the following command on top of it just to make sure:
powercfg -h on
When I select Hibernate from the shut down menu the system turns off the monitor and it looks like it starts to hibernate but then after a few seconds the monitor is turned back on and a see the lock screen. I've tried this many times already.
I'm using the Balanced plan and I also restored its settings to defaults.
Why doesn't it work?
Windows version: 10.0.15063 Build 15063

Open the Registry Editor by pressing Win + R and typing regedit in the Run box.
In the left pane of Registry Editor, navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
Close Registry Editor and restart the computer to apply the changes.
