Troubleshooting: Fixing Shutdown/Hibernation Problems

Are you having problems with the hibernation or shutdown feature on your computer not working?  Sometimes  these issues can be caused by a process or application running in the background.

To help fix this issue from an administrator command prompt, type "POWERCFG -REQUESTS".  The output of this command will show any processes or drivers that are making power requests that could prevent your computer from sleeping or shutting down.
C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -requests 
DISPLAY:None. 
SYSTEM:None. 
AWAYMODE:None.
