Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

S1 Sleep Supported	true
S2 Sleep Supported	false
S3 Sleep Supported	true
S4 Sleep Supported	true

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Connected Standby Support
Connected standby allows the computer to enter a low-power mode in which it is always on and connected. If supported, connected standby is used instead of system sleep states.

This is not a hardware problem. If I go back to Windows 7 or 8 system will hibernate fine. Is there a way to get the system to hibernate again?
----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!

It is hibernating now with those settings. It took another reboot for some reason. Sorry about the long post. I have to leave this up so hopefully it benefits others somehow.

Are you wanting to hibernate the system, or have it go to sleep? Hibernate has not worked correctly, since SP3 for XP. Majority of us, just turn Hibernate off by going into the Cmd window and doing "powercfg /hibernate off". You system should go into sleep or standby mode just fine.
