If your Windows 7 computer is not able to hibernate properly and quickly goes to the login screen, there are a few quick fixes and troubleshooting steps you can try. Here are some suggestions to address the hibernation issue without requiring a full Windows reinstallation:

Troubleshooting Hibernation Issue in Windows 7:​

1. Reset Power Settings:
   • Reset the power settings in Windows to default and reconfigure the hibernation settings. Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings. Verify that the settings for hibernate mode are configured correctly.
   []Check Disk Space:
   • Ensure that you have enough free disk space available for hibernation. A lack of disk space can prevent Windows from hibernating properly.
   []Update Drivers:
   • Update your device drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause hibernation issues. Visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers.
   []Power Troubleshooter:
   • Run the built-in Power Troubleshooter to diagnose power-related issues. Go to Control Panel > Troubleshooting > View all > Power.
   []Disk Cleanup:
   • Perform a Disk Cleanup to remove temporary files and free up disk space. Open Disk Cleanup by typing "Disk Cleanup" in the Start menu search box.
   []Windows Update:
   • Make sure your system is up to date with the latest Windows updates. Updates often include fixes for known issues, including power management problems.
   []System File Check (SFC):
   • Run a System File Check to scan for and repair corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run sfc /scannow.
   []Check for Malware:
   • Perform a full scan with your antivirus software to rule out any malware that might be interfering with hibernation.

     Quick Fix Using System Restore:​

     If the issue persists and you need a quick fix, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a point before the hibernation problem started:
   []Access System Restore:
   • Boot into Safe Mode and access System Restore. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
2. Restore Point Selection:
   • Choose a restore point from before the hibernation issue occurred and follow the prompts to restore your system.

     Considerations:​

   • Backup Data: If you plan to use System Restore, ensure your important files are backed up to prevent data loss during the restore process. By following these troubleshooting steps and considering a System Restore, you can address the hibernation issue on your Windows 7 system without the need for a full reinstallation.
