Try using Sleep instead of Hibernate. This keeps the RAM and processor
going in a low power state but shuts down pretty much everything else,
including the hard drives, fans and all lights on the machine so that it
looks like it's off. It does everything that Hibernate does (dumps the
contents of memory to the hard drive) so it's safe in case there's a power
cut, but it resumes A LOT faster, and is able to wake up to perform
scheduled tasks.
I've got a bit of a problem with Defender at the moment, so it's still not
running a scan, but I do know Windows Update is running every morning at 3AM
without problems.
