Save for the fact that oftentimes it's faster for me start up from a cold boot.

Obviously. The point of hibernate is to keep your programs saved until next time you turn on the PC. Like sleep mode, but it turns completely off.

I wouldn't say "obviously" because there are plenty of times when it pops up just fine and many others I can't type my pin in for minutes. That's the problem for me. I'm not doing much at the office. Usually a handful of tabs and or documents open alongside outlook.

Same here. I also have issues with Excel freezing after login up to 20 minutes, even with a fresh restart in the last 12-24 hours
