Hey Surface Experts!
I've just joined the club. I recently picked up an S3 with 4gb/128gb and LTE, pen and keyboard. I'm really loving it so far. It had Windows 10 out of the box. I had one of the original Asus t100's back when they first hit, but the size, speed, RAM and lack of LTE doomed it as a keeper for me. This Surface 3 is just about perfect (if only it had SSD for better disk speed) for most day to day things I do.
However I have a problem. I cannot for the life of me get hibernate to work or even show up as an option. I've googled every which way, tried all the tricks to get the hibernate option to show/work but no luck. Now I swear it was there and working when I first booted/setup my S3. But as usual, my first few setups of my new device went awry so I "recovered" (fully wiping) since then and NO hibernate option.
I'm thinking I might have gotten a MS BIOS update during that first setup that somehow disabled hibernate. I don't even know how to get into the BIOS at boot to be honest. When I run "powercfg /a" it doesn't show hibernate as an option. It says "the hiberfile does not support hibernation". It says "S0 Low Power Idle Network Connected Fast Startup" is supported. If I run the proper powercfg commands I can turn off hibernate (which deletes the hiberfile.sys file) and turn it back on (which recreates the file) but it never actually works or shows as an option in the Control Panel Power GUI. Also not my hiberfile.sys is about 800MB in size which is not the expected size on a 4gb system.
I even tried setting it up w/o the SD card and SIM card to see if they were affecting it. No luck.
Anybody have any ideas or seeing anything similar with S3 and Windows 10?
Thanks!
