The Modern Standby feature in newer Windows PCs never seems to work right.

      Can’t you just disable fastboot?

      Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Power Options>System Settings Uncheck “turn on fast startup”

        Sure, until the next update, when they forcibly enable it again.

      If you want to turn off hibernation for good you can do so with an elevated prompt.

      powercfg.exe /hibernate off

      Otherwise you want to turn off fast start up, which should avoid the hibernation/shutdown you’re talking about.

          The fast start up option actually should still be under power options, though not really intuitive or easy to find.
          Look for the part that says “Choose what the power buttons do” and it should be there.

          I tend to just turn hibernation all off because I don’t really use it, and I’d typically rather have the space hiberfil.sys takes up.

      i heard you gotta wait until it tells you it’s safe to turn off your computer.

      If you hold the shift key when you press “shut down” it’ll fully shut down.
