I did a lot of research before installing Linux on my new laptop. Some people advised to disable hibernate before installing Linux in a dual boot setup. The reasoning, I think, is to prevent the machine hibernating in one OS and waking in another, leaving the first in an unusual state.
I found some instructions on how to disable hibernate https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2859-enable-disable-hibernate-windows-10-a.html and set about doing that armed with the Microsoft docs on the relevant command line utility https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/powercfg-command-line-options
An added complexity that I discovered while following the instructions to disable hibernate is that it can be triggered for a number of reasons, all of which need to be addressed when disabling it. The following outlines the steps I took to hunt down every way that hibernate could be triggered in my system and disable them all one by one.
The first step is to open a command line shell in administrator mode (from memory, since I am on the Linux side at the moment: hit Windows key + X, right click on command line and select administrator mode). In the resulting shell:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /list
Existing Power Schemes (* Active)
Power Scheme GUID: 191ba8c6-5e2f-4d89-8197-303852978162 (Airplane)
Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e (Balanced) *
Power Scheme GUID: 707872dd-11b4-4409-b54f-121b8ea7ba40 (Timers off (Presentation))
Turn off hibernate
powercfg /hibernate off
Query settings for Airplane mode
From the output above, we see that the GUID for airplane mode is 191ba8c6-5e2f-4d89-8197-303852978162
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /query 191ba8c6-5e2f-4d89-8197-303852978162

…
From the full output of that command we see that we also need to change HIBERNATEIDLE in all power plans. Setting it to zero disables.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /setacvalueindex 191ba8c6-5e2f-4d89-8197-303852978162 SUB_SLEEP HIBERNATEIDLE 0

Also turn it off in the balanced power profile

See that hibernate is still enabled for Critical battery action on DC power (battery). Change it to sleep in all power profiles:
powercfg /setdcvalueindex 707872dd-11b4-4409-b54f-121b8ea7ba40 SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 1
powercfg /setdcvalueindex 191ba8c6-5e2f-4d89-8197-303852978162 SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 1
powercfg /setdcvalueindex 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 1
And for AC power in 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e (Balanced)!
powercfg /setacvalueindex 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e SUB_BATTERY BATACTIONCRIT 1
Verify again by querying each power scheme in turn.
Now, this should also disable Fast Boot and we can verify that using the Windows control panel:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Choose what the power buttons do – check there is no Fast Boot option
