Problem is that Microsoft is trying to kill hibernation (so far they did the first step to hide it, then second step to hide it even better).
Why do the companies not realize that employees coming to office, waiting for computer to start, then opening their programs - is an incredible waste of time and productivity?
Why companies dont push microsoft to make hibernation the default? (plus some smart feature for updates)
This trend is so incredibly frustrating and will likely be the final straw that makes me go back to linux on my desktop instead of windows.
I can put up with many things, but not this.
The machine already reboots for goodness knows what reason. Probably some update that someone decided was far more critical than my machine being up.
Also why can't updates run on windows without a reboot? We're getting to the point where other than design, windows feels like the volunteer run OS and that's not me saying the linux desktop design is bad by any measure, just that I prefer windows.
The idea is that modern windows (10,11,12) boot fast enough through various tricks that booting is faster - or as fast as - awaking from hibernation.
TBH It's probably not wrong, I wouldn't know because for some unknown reason my motherboard sits doing nothing for over a minute before starting the POST. Once it's past that, I can be at a linux prompt in 20 seconds, or at the windows login within 40, depending on whether I interrupt rEFInd
Also hitting shutdown on your windows PC does not shut it down, it effectively puts it into hibernation.
The comment above is chasing the wind, just shutdown your PC if you want it off. If you dont then put it to sleep, modern hardware sleep state is effectively off from a power consumption point of view.
