Yesterday (7.12), i updated my windows defender as it was an important update and then i thought everything was alright. I left my laptop into hibernation and switch it on twice, it was okay, nothing happened.

But today, after i came back from work, i switch my com back from hibernation, the security center suddenly warned me that my antivirus is off, i did not do anything to off the antivirus, i merely left my com in hibernation mode.

Its my first time experiencing such situation, i'm worried, please advise. thank you.

My advice is to uninstall your antivirus and learn how to surf safely. Antivirus programs are resource hogs. I try not to use hibernation either because it tends to be buggy as you describe, and my laptop is older and I don't have a lot of room for all the disk space hibernation requires (I understand it saves the contents of ram to the disk, which can take up a considerable amount of space depending on your setup).

Proof it can be buggy here.

Proof it takes up space is here.

Something like that ocurred with me. I always use hibernation and when I used AVG sometimes it turned off after hibernation. So I installed another antivirus: Avast; the issue was fixed. So that is a problem of your antivirus software. Update that and report the error to vendor. Or change the software.
