Hibernate is an option or feature which allows our operating system to save or write data (content) from Ram in to Hard drive, before going into sleep or off mode. By default, this feature is disabled in windows vista or windows 7. To enable this feature there are different methods but two of them are listed in this post…
Method 1:
This method is quite simple and easy to use:
- Go to “Start” and type “cmd” in Run without quotes
- Remember to run cmd as “Administrator mode”
- In command prompt type “powercfg /hibernate on” without quotes
- To take effect, restart pc
Method 2:
Use this method if first doesn’t work. This method is little bit longer than first one:
- Go to Start and in run type “cmd”
- You will see command prompt icon at top of start menu
- Right click on it and select “Run as administrator”
- In cmd type “powercfg.exe /hibernate on” and press Enter
- After this type “powercfg -h on” and press enter then exit cmd
- Now once again go to “Run” and type “Power Options” then press enter
- A window will open with name “select a power Plan”
- Choose your plan and select “change plan settings”
- In this option select “change advance power settings” and click on it
- You will see another window and here click on “change settings that are currently unavailable”
- Scroll down to “Sleep” then “Allow hybrid sleep” and select “Off” from option
- Now scroll down to “Power buttons and lid” then “Sleep button action” and select “Hibernate” option
- Now you can hibernate pc…
