[BUG] G751JY BIOS211 fails to resume from hibernation every other reboot (0xc0000411)

[hexaae]

Exactly as reported here from another user: http://superuser.com/questions/484537/windows-fails-to-resume-from-hibernation-every-other-reboot
I have the same issue.

I have hibernation enabled (not hybrid standby!) from start menu.
I've noticed that G751JY fails to resume from hibernation exactly every other reboot, not randomly. I can reproduce the problem.

Repro steps:
1. Shutdown Windows completely (do not select shutdown and reboot, but full Shudown only)
2. Click power button and boot
3. Enter Windows. Now reboot from Windows (do not shutdown!)
4. Enter Windows. Now if you put system in hibernation and try to resume it will cold reboot and Windows Event Viewer will report a kernel-boot error ID 16: "Windows failed to resume from hibernate with error status 0xc0000411"
at this point, next time you enter Windows right after the anomaly and hibernate, it will work absolutely fine... till next reboot!!

Everything is absolutely fine in my system, all drivers updated, BIOS 211 (Default settings reloaded & saved), Windows 10 x64 10586.104, my gfx card is GTX 980M PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_22DA1043&REV_A1\4&266 0345B&0&0008, i7 4710HQ. Exact model: G751JY-T7134H. I have 2 SSD connected to SATA3 and SATA2 ports:

My system comes from stock Win 8.1 upgraded to Win 10 using Microsoft auto-update, and not from a clean Win 10 install.


It looks like an issue with UEFI BIOS left in a bad status after you reboot once. If you shutdown, or you come from a previous cold reboot error, hibernation will work fine, till your next reboot.

You can find a log history with unexpected shutdowns typing "reliability monitor" in Cortana...

P.S.
This bug won't be solved re-flashing BIOS

UPDATE:
From BIOS if I disable SecureBoot + enable 'Launch CSM', resume from hibernation will NEVER fail.
Tried also SecureBoot ON + no FastBoot but the issue was still reproducible.

Definitely a UEFI BIOS bug with Windows 10 AFAICS...

Reflash your BIOS.

cmd line .... nodate....search google

Yep. just reflash.

No won't be solved by a reflash (already knew that trick to solve standby issues, nothing to do with hibernation).
This one is a different issue and I already tried a BIOS reflash.

Please, can you try the above mentioned steps (on a G751JY with BIOS 211 and Windows 10 x64) carefully and let me know if you can reproduce the issue? Thank you

A few user use hibernation, and with a fast SSD many couldn't even notice when the system was shut-down incorrectly because of error 0xc0000411 in a resume attempt from hibernation (you'll just find it in Event Viewer, no BSOD or anything else, besides noticing the desktop gets fully reloaded...). It wouldn't be a surprise if just me and a few others have noticed the problem.

See pic to check if your system ever had that issue. Run Event Viewer and double-click on error ID 16 to see a detailed history, if you use hibernation often.
2nd pic: You can filter 'Windows Logs/System' by 'Event ID': 16 and 'Source': Kernel-Boot

Someone can test this please?

Am I the only one using Hibernation?

Don't know about the only one but certainly one of the few. I don't use it, sleep and hibernation are disabled. Back in the days of spinners and an OS that took forever to get to the point of being ready to use I did deploy hibernation often, particularly on the crappy work laptops that my company issues.

With a high performance machine and SSD's The difference between resuming from hibernation and a cold boot is negligible for me.

Yes, but you can leave all your work (program windows etc.) intact and continue from where you were. It freezes computer status and internal Windows caching system will work better with faster PC usage.

I'm afraid it's a serious BIOS issue anyway as it's reproducible like the old bug 'resume from standby problem' with previous ASUS BIOS. Unfortunately even re-flash in this case doesn't solve this problem.
ASUS should seriously fix it since at present (BIOS 211) hibernation is unreliable on G751JY if you reboot + hibernate + resume, and then reboot + hibernate + resume (fails with error 0xc0000411!) again...
Current only workaround I've found is disabling Secureboot (and Fastboot), and go back to CSM, sigh... In this case hibernation resume will never fail.
