Nitpicking...

My Windows 11 setup does *not* have "hibernate" in the power menu. So
you are wrong as well now? Or did you just forgot, that the choices also
depend on settings?

I talked about the *default* setup of Windows nowadays which is "Fast
Startup". And in this *default* case Windows behaves as described since
the previous poster believed, that "shutdown" will always shutdown
without hibernation and "reboot" will restore the state as it was before
the reboot.

This is not "authoritative". Only the document of Microsoft is
authoritative:
