Windows 10 Enterprise Hibernate no longer working on VM

Hi,

Not sure, but appears Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac Pro edition appears to have killed the ability to "Hibernate" my Windows 10 VM. Note that it's running on a .pvm (not from Bootcamp).

Every time I hibernate then restart the VM, it basically restarts. I know Parallels has a "Suspend" feature, but this has often caused my entire Mac to freeze - so have been preferring the Hibernate approach.

Any suggestions? Perhaps there's some new configuration option I'm missing. Let me know what more info I can provide.

BTW, the VM is Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.17134 Build 17134

Cheers,
Chris
 
Unfortunately that didn't do it. It shut down quick enough when hibernating (as usual), but rebooted from a "blank slate", with all windows gone.
 
Have also deleted the existing hiberfil.sys by disabling and re-enabling Hibernate with the suggested command above - still no use.

Note that in the Windows System Event Log I'm seeing the following:

Windows failed to resume from hibernate with error status 0xC000007B.

And further below -

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Could Parallels be terminating the machine down before the Hibernate process has finished? Is there any way I could test this in the Parallels configuration for the VM?
