Windows 7 keeps resuming even when I shutdown

I have a dell M4500. windows 7 64 bit and have a rather unusual problem.

Upon shutting down, or restarting - windows always seems to resume and what's more, resumes windows to a few days ago.  It seems to keep registering the last time it hibernated a few days ago and resumes to that.

It runs on ssd drive.

What can I do?

Try disbaling the hibernate function in windows and try a restart then. If hibernate is off it should be able to resume. You can do this quickly from a cmd prompt by typing

powercfg -h off

I tried powercfg -h off but that didn't work.

I will now try updating bios

bios Update didn't work either
Do you have a docking station ?
If hibernate is off then it should not be able to resume.... unless you are putting it to sleep?

Does it actually say "resuming" when the system starts up?

Nipponsoul, I spoke to quickly.  Bios update gave me option to delete hibernation data.

Problem solved, thank you.

Kind regards,
