Windows Vista basically replaces the popular hibernate feature with a new one called ‘Sleep‘, which is a combination of both Hibernation and Stand-By. In any case if you use a computer that is not always connected to power like a Laptop, you do need hibernation features. Or maybe your scenario doesn’t needs hibernation. So why waste the hard-disk space that the hiber.sys takes on your system? In any case you need a method to easily enable/disable hibernation feature on your machine.

As usual, XpressZine would always give/suggest you the best and easiest option to do any task.

So open up your command prompt by typing ‘cmd‘ in the ‘Run‘ window. Once the ‘Command Prompt‘ appears type the below code to finish the task you want to achieve.

To Enable Hibernation:

Type ‘powercfg -h on‘ (without quotes)

To Disable Hibernation:

Type ‘powercfg -h off‘ (without quotes)

NOTE: You need to have administrator access to complete this function.

NOTE: A confirmation may not be given. If no error is displayed then it would mean that the command executed successfully.
