I'm not aware of it being disabled. Where would I find it if it is?

Settings / System...Power/Power and Sleep/Additional Power Settings/Choose what the power button does

Simple

Edit: It may be different on the Home version.

From an elevated command prompt type

powercfg /a

for the supported power states

OIC! I think I've sussed it. Y'all taking about lappies; I was talking previously about my Desktop.

However my Win 10 Home lappy with fast start enabled does not suffer from this internet access issue.

I was quoting the route to the option on my desktop.

better explanation

And that's where I've been looking all this time. There is no "fast start" nor "disable hibernation" on my Win 10 Home Desktop. There is on my Win 10 Home lappy.

The Win 10 Home Desktop was preinstalled from new. The Win 10 Home lappy was an upgrade from Win 8.1.

So why aren't I seeing these things y'all talking about on my Win 10 Home Desktop?

can't help on the desk top, but can confirm that either the MS update or renewing ipconfig under admin has fixed gf's win10home laptop, has been fine for several days now.

There isn't a GUI option to disable hibernation that I am aware of, it's done through the command line and once it's disabled fast start disappears.

I wonder if you have FastGo as mentioned in this article?

Or perhaps you have no hiberfil.sys file.
