I'm having a frustrating issue with my Windows 11 PC. It's set to sleep after 20 minutes of inactivity since I use it frequently. Lately, instead of waking up, it shuts down completely, requiring a full restart every time. I've tried using the Windows troubleshooter, updating drivers, and rolling back updates, but nothing seems to help. The event viewer shows errors related to hibernate failures, specifically event 16 with an error status of 0xC000007B, and a few others indicating unexpected shutdowns. I've also got a minidump file I'm not sure how to interpret. Any advice on how to solve this?

Looks like it might be an NVIDIA driver issue. Reinstalling the drivers could solve your hibernation problems. I've seen this fix similar issues for others before.
It sounds like a frustrating problem! First, I recommend running some hardware checks on your RAM and SSD to rule out any physical issues. Also, updating all your drivers and performing system checks with sfc /scannow and DISM could help. If that doesn't work, consider checking for conflicts with any third-party software—using safe mode can help you figure out if one of those is causing the problem.
Along with what others said, you might want to disable hibernation altogether. You can do this by running Command Prompt as an administrator and typing in `powercfg.exe /hibernate off` and hitting Enter. This should sort out any issues related to hibernation.
