I have 2 questions regarding hibernation
1. In one Pc I have to press on power button to wake it from hibernation.
Escape or any keyboard/mouth don't work.
2. On the other Pc escape works, but if I work with kvm and I try to switch
to this Pc I can't. The end result is pressing also on power button.
Can someone advise please?

So you've lost (or never had) Standby and/or Hibernate?

First thing: Using both BIOS-based power management and Windows-based
power management rarely works. If you are using both, disable one or
the other.

That sounds reasonable. When the machine hibernates, it writes a file
with the contents of RAM, video memory, etc to disk, then turns itself
off. To come out of hibernation then, you press the power button and
start the boot sequence. When the BIOS invokes Windows, the first
thing it does is check for a hibernate file. If it exists it gets read
and your previous session is restored. If it doesn't exist, Windows
does a normal bootup.

Are you sure this one is hibernated and not just sleeping? Sleeping
involves shutting down the monitor, disk, and other nonessential
things. Power is kept flowing to the RAM, so the data there is
maintained. Also, enough juice flows to the CPU so that several things
- opening the laptop lid, using the mouse or a key - will wake it up.
