I see that this was already discussed in the past; but for me hibernation on Windows 8.1 still does not always work properly.

Link to previous question: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/238ec268-a2dc-49ab-8a75-c185710e086a/windows-81-sleephibernate-issues?forum=w8itprohardware

I have Windows 8.1 64 bit Pro installed; I also have all updates installed. I can always hibernate my PC, but the problem is that on startup it sometimes wakes up properly with all launched applications "still running" (of course I understand that they were not running while the power was off); but sometimes it fails to start up and go back to previous state and performs a clean boot instead. When it fails it seems completely random. I see no error messages. It is like after hibernation there is a 30% probability that Windows will forget that it was hibernated and perform a clean boot instead.

I remember that Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 systems didn't have this issue; hibernation worked properly always.... I like Windows 8.1, but this issue with hibernation is... well.... spoils the impression a bit.

I have a desktop PC with a "usual" hard drive and a SSD drive; Windows is installed on SSD drive. No UEFI support.

   Plz help. Anyone knows how to solve this? I would really appreciate it.

P.S: I am not talking about sleep mode; I only discussing hibernation here. I hibernate PC because it is good for my workflow. I often have many applications opened and I like when they stay opened because starting them again and opening projects and documents takes time.
