Why does my notebook sometimes start automatically and other times need me to press the power buttom

[JohnM29]

I have set my notebook to hibernate when I close the lid. When I re-open the lid sometimes the machine just resumes and other  times I have to press the power button for the machine to resume.

Why is it not consistent??????????????

From the bottom given power button options, uncheck the ‘Turn on fast startup’ option.

Click on ‘Save changes’ button.

If the issue persists, follow the below steps.

Go to the ‘Start’ menu and type ‘Control panel’ then hit the ‘Enter’ key.

From the top-right filter, choose ‘Large icons’ and navigate to the ‘Power Options’,

Your message did not help. The issue is not what closing the lid does, but rather What happens when I OPEN the lid. It should do nothing until I press the power button, but sometimes my machine comes out of hibernation as soon as I open the lid.
