    Modern PCs don’t truly hibernate, they sleep. If the tower loses power its considered a hard reset.

    If anything, Windows machines often have ‘fast boot’ enabled which saves certain things to state, so today’s manual shutdown (without power loss) is closer to old school hibernation than today’s ‘sleep’ is.
