I always hibernate to avoid waiting an hour for startup.

I'm sorry but wtf, I've been a Windows user all my life, often on old, shitty PCs, but startup never took more than a couple minutes at worst. Sounds like something is really wrong with your PC O.o

It's been wrong with all of my Windows PCs for over a decade, It doesn't seem specific to any software on them, so I say it's a windows general issue. I've even run memory diagnostics from a bootable USB, no issues. I've verified the same machines can boot Linux fast and perfectly fine.

I've even seen memes about it, it's a really common problem.
