How to solve hibernate not working with Samsung NVME SSD
Just want to share here. Recently I found hibernate or hybrid sleep is not working on my newly built desktop pc. When I perform hibernate, the pc shuts down instead. When the pc starts, it shows Windows Error Recovery screen with message "Windows did not shut down successfully".
Have tried some solutions from internet but nothing works. However in Windows 10 there is no issue at all.
Eventually I found a post in tomshardware where the poster mentioned he had same issue after replacing the ssd. It raises my suspicion since I'm using samsung m.2 nvme ssd but still using microsoft nvme driver. So then I installed the samsung nvme driver, and voila, the hibernate/hybrid sleep is working now.
So if anyone has windows 7 installed on the samsung nvme ssd, you might want to install the manufacturer driver to prevent this issue.
