I have never had an issue with my laptop.
but in the last week, everytime the laptop goes into hibernation due to inactivity it loses everything. Normally when the laptop goes into hibernation and i touch to wake it up everything is still the way i left it.
Recently it went into hibernation and when i touched the keyboard it started up as if it had just been turned on and i lost all my work that was on the screen.
i changed all the hibernation settings in the control panel checked for all updates everything is fine. And i dont understand why it is doing this. Please some help would be great!
