I bit the bullet today and downloaded the iso from uudump and have just completed an in-place installation which has resolved the issues - the three states survive doing a lid close, power button and sleep button. The power states are also now showing correctly. What the corruption issue...

@zbook DISM seemed to get stuck at 62.3% for an awfully long time, but it eventually completed, though there does not seem to have been any change to the symptoms since we started this. When using the default BIOS settings S0 is enabled and whilst powercfg shows that hibernation is available...

It is exactly the same

not quite

Bizarrely it is hibernating at the moment when I close the lid and yet I cannot set it in the power config in Windows! If I disable Block Sleep (S3) in the BIOS then it will only sleep when I close the lid and it burns my back with the heat (plus battery is flat by the time I get to the...

I hope that this lot means something to you and also enables a resolution to be found :) IAIN-(2025-03-10_00-36-14).zip I am very grateful for your efforts

Here you go sir. The file with ... Block Sleep(S3) Disabled.zip is the default BIOS and DELL settings. The other file is me trying the enabling of of Block Sleep (S3) enabled

@zbook - tried disabling virtualisation, absolutely no difference :( @garlin - There is a setting that I 'think' enables S3 block sleep (unfortunately the description is in very strange English that appears full of double negatives). It certainly switches off S0, but doesn't enable S3 in...

I have a Dell Latitude 7430 that generally runs well however I seem to have lost the ability to Hibernate in one of the recent updates and all it will do is Sleep. Checking the valable Sleep states provides this which suggest I *should* be able to set the lid switch to use the Hibernate state...

Nope, and this same update has just failed with the same message on another totally different machine with an ASRock motherboard.

The same message is displayed after trying an in-place upgrade using the UU Dump ISO Any suggestions how to fault find because there are no driver or hardware issues shown in Device Manager either :( Each time it reboots after the failed attempt I am left with this extra line in the Boot...

Not yet, I was hoping that there may be something that could be done to allow a native installation before the nuclear option is used.

This update has now failed to install 3 times on this laptop with error 0x80070002. I have run SFC and DISM which show no issues but on reboot it get most of the way through and the rolls back changes :( Any suggestions what could be causing the failure? This is the first failure I have ever...

I installed the latest PowerShell today from MS PowerShell 7 and since then I lost the ability to run ps1 files from scripts. I am always asked what to use to open them and when I try to select Powershell I find that it is shown three times on the menu - and none of them work! I uninstalled...

Unfortunately the Character Map isn’t as easily accessible from the keyboard, unlike the Windows+. shortcut, not does it have the same functionality, though I grant you it is still currently available.
