   ...and that is only because I was forced to recover a recent Restore   
   point 6 days ago. System uptime is typically 30 to 60 days on my T60   
   before I need to do a full shutdown or Restart to refresh a finicky USB   
   port.

   With the little bit of use I've had with the T540p and the SSD, it comes   
   up within 10 seconds after a full shut shutdown, but I haven't finished   
   the Win10 registration yet.

   I know!  I'll have friends call me too, and usually a full off/on makes   
   their problem go away. Their problems can depend on a combination of   
   other things they are putting the OS through.   
      
   I have 3 pcs connected to my work network. I just hibernate at the end   
   of the day. No problem for months. I hate the Win7 updates that force me   
   to reboot.   
      
   I am not a fan of Suspend/Sleep.  I want to maximize battery use when   
   lugging a laptop around, and I don't want a surprise if a pc was in   
   Sleep and I get a power outtage overnight. So a Hibernate is a better   
   option all around.
