I have a Windows 10 computer that I recently upgraded its SSD from 1Tb to 2Tb. It didn't work right away (context below), so I had to do a couple of things, and now it doesn't hibernate.

When I try to hibernate, the screen goes black, the computer doesn't stop, then the logon screen pops back up seconds later. Going to sleep/suspend does the exact thing BUT if i disable hibernation suspend works.

Worth mentioning

  • Inside the event viewer, there is an event for "going to suspend" or "going to hibernate," but there's nothing after; it's not even registered that Windows tried to do it.
  • I have updated the BIOS and all drivers I could think of.
  • I have also tried chkdsk, but it doesn't return an error
  • I have tried bcdedit /enum all, which returns the error The Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store could not be opened. The requested system device cannot be found.

CONTEXT

I tried to clone it initially, but the new disk wasn't being recognized by both Clonezilla and GParted, and if I recall correctly, at some point, I had to convert the new disk from MBR to GPT for it to work.

After cloning it and expanding the data partition to be the full size of the disk, Windows wouldn't boot. I entered the BIOS and fixed it (I think it was something related to legacy boot), and after that, it wouldn't shut down, nor reboot, nor go to sleep mode, nor hibernate. It did the same thing about the screen going black and the logon screen popping up back seconds after

I had to boot into recovery to fix something related to bcd for shutdown and reboot to work, I think this was the command or something similar bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI

Sorry if I don't recall all the details. I have been trying a lot of things for the past 2 weeks.

  • In order to help diagnose your problem we really need the exact command you ran. There is a command, well documented, that an help you diagnose what is preventing Windows from sleeping or hibernating (powercfg -h on). Have you ran that command? After you ran that BCDBOOT command, indicating you wanted to boot off the system volume S, does Windows actually boot? If you performed a 1:1 clone of the drive it shouldn't have been necessary to make BCDBOOT configuration changes. Commented Sep 29 at 18:34
  • Hi @Ramhound, thanks for taking the time to answer! Yes I ran that command, and also powercfg -h off and back on and it doesn't seem to fail, the hibernatefile.sys gets created, I even tried powercfg /h /type full just in case it was something related to the hiberfile not being big enough or something. I also tried chkdsk, no errors. One command I've tried and the output puzzles me is bcdedit /enum all which returns error The Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store could not be opened. The requested system device cannot be found. I'm going to update the question to add this info Commented Sep 29 at 19:19
  • I provided the wrong powerpfg command it should have been powercfg /lastwake. Without the enumeration of the BCD data. I cannot help diagnose your other problem. You absolutely should be able to run bcdedit /enum all and have it enumerate your BCD data provided your within Windows and not within say WinRE. What did you use to clone the drive?

  • powercfg /lastwake returns this (im going to use \n because i think comments dont allow new lines) Wake history count - 1 \n Wake history [0] \n Wake source count - 1\n Wake source [0] \n Type: fixed feature \n Power button About the program used to clone the drive, in the end I used GParted, creating a new partition and copying the rest one by one.

  • What power mode is your system in? What processor? Your problems are due to the process you used to clone the drive. Commented Sep 29 at 20:26

I got it fixed doing the same thing as in this answer

The EFI partition flag was not set, I assume i didn't set it properly after cloning or maybe I did something wrong in the process
