If you want to turn off hibernation for good you can do so with an elevated prompt.

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

Otherwise you want to turn off fast start up, which should avoid the hibernation/shutdown you're talking about.

Yes, fast startup, forgot the name. But it is insane how its hidden off behind a commandline, what used to be a tickbox behind admin password inside of Power Options.

Edit: apparently the tickbox is still there, my bad

The fast start up option actually should still be under power options, though not really intuitive or easy to find.
Look for the part that says "Choose what the power buttons do" and it should be there.

I tend to just turn hibernation all off because I don't really use it, and I'd typically rather have the space hiberfil.sys takes up.

It is there. That is weird, how did I miss this all this time?
