Windows 10 Boot State

Hi!

 

A few days ago, I ran "powercfg /h off" to disable hibernation in an attempt to fix another problem.

Ever since then, my PC doesn't remember anything on boot.

 

Steam boots up with a login screen (even though I use Remember me) and Spotify doesn't remember the last active song.

 

I tried resetting all power settings (since it did not solve my other issue), and it still occurs.

 

Any idea?

 

Cheers,

Ron

does it forget the time if you disconnect it from the internet and turn it off for some time? If it does, then the CMOS battery is dead.

@Jurrunio Hi! No, the CMOS battery isn't dead. I already tested that.

 

Also, I'm not sure how it is related to my issue? The data is stored on the HDD (specifically Steam's).

Just to clarify, it did not hibernate before, it did full shutdowns and worked before I executed that command.

In the past, the Chrome browser wont save my passwords even though I asked it to, and overclock settings get reset every boot. The latter is clearly a dead CMOS battery, so I fixed it forst, which somehow fixed the former as well.

 

Can you still read/write to the drives storing Steam and Spotify? Does crystaldiskinfo give warnings about it?

 

If you have another drive, try copy the spotify app file to another drive (do not delete the original) and use it from there.

Yeah, both drives work and I don't see any problems in CrystalDiskInfo. But the issue still occurs.

 

Note: Steam does not remember the password even if I just restart the app itself (not a full reboot of the PC), same with Spotify.

A friend of mine, who also ran the command around the same time as me, has the same issue, which leads me to believe it is software related.
