That is great news and thank you for the follow up 

[Lola2014]

I am definitely relieved, thank you so much for solving it! However, does it mean that I can not have hibernation on my computer? I thought removing it was a temporary step in diagnosing the problem. Please let me know!

[phillpower2]

An oversight, sorry, you can re-enable hibernation now.

[Lola2014]

Great, but how do I do that?

Hi Phillpower2,

 

I tried to follow the instructions but when I click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable”, I do not see "hibernate" icon at all. I am not sure about how to go about it. Could you please help, thank you so much!

Run the MS Fix it wizard, details here

Finally, I was able to add hibernation. But upon resume, a black screen shows up and stays like that for several minutes and wouldn't show login page.

Can I ask what happens when you restarted/restart the computer since running the Microsoft Fix it.

[Lola2014]

Generally, I press the power button to make it go in hibernation immediately. But when I try to resume the computer from hibernation, it sort of black screens (with some background light) for several minutes (~5 min) before I can access the Login page.

[phillpower2]

Forgive me but I am not familiar with a computer that you put into hibernation by pressing the power button, that is normally called either a soft or hard shut down, depending on the state of the computer at the time - does the same thing happen if you put the computer into hibernation from within Windows.

[Lola2014]

When I re-added hibernation setting on my computer, I changed settings in "define power buttons and turn on password protection". I had added "hibernation" for all the settings including "When I press power button" it goes in hibernation. Please let me know if I am making any sense.
