Issues arising from the latest updates on my Windows 10 Pro desktop...
Depends a lot on the hardware setup, driver updates, and installed programs. Laptops are built as complete systems, which helps minimize sleep-related issues. Hibernation saves RAM to storage and powers off the device fully, then restores it when you restart. However, certain drivers may struggle with this process, and some software can get mixed up.
I could manage using 'sleep' for about a week or two... but recently after the updates things started acting up within days. Other programs I've used have been reliable for a long time, yet now they're causing issues too.
I turned off the hibernation feature about four years ago... It's a good luck fact that simply restarting the computer resolved the problems...
Because hibernation was already turned off, we can eliminate that possibility. A basic restart seems more likely caused by driver or Windows power settings rather than hardware issues. You might attempt a fresh installation of the newest Nvidia driver using DDU to replace the old one, ensuring no corruption occurs. Also, verify in Device Manager and Power Management that only your keyboard and mouse are permitted to power on the PC. If the problem persists, switching to Windows 11 could be beneficial since version 10 is only receiving security patches.
Absolutely, just fix it or reinstall. That approach usually works better. Skipping updates isn't wise.
