Windows 10 Hibernation & Sleep Is A Little Wonkey

I always turn hibernation off.
Lately I've been fond of using a "sleep" shortcut.
%windir%System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

But on one PC it quit working.
How do you even tell if Hibernation is working anymore? CMD doesn't tell me anymore?
Speccy seems to know
But no hiberfil.sys file. Oops, it showed up eventually.
But shortcut works so I'm happy.

So, this was a PC where the sleep shortcut works and hibernation is off.

On the not working PC I turned on hibernation on and the shortcut worked.
