How to Disable Hibernation on Windows 10 Laptop PC
Even though most people are used to Windows 10 sleep mode, you may not know your computer also has a hibernation mode (Hibernation).
Hibernation is a cross between sleep mode and turning off your computer. By enabling hibernation, you can shut down your computer and leave it right away. That means all of your applications will open as they were when you left them, and the computer won’t use any power.
The downside of hibernation mode is that it takes up a portion of your computer’s storage space, which is the equivalent of 75 percent of your installed RAM capacity. Fortunately, hibernation mode is easy to disable.
- Click the magnifying glass icon in the lower-left corner of your screen. It is next to the Windows 10 logo.
- Then type Command Prompt into the search bar.
- Next, click Run as administrator.
4. Then type powercfg.exe / hibernate off into Command Prompt.
5. Finally, press Enter on your keyboard. This will disable hibernation mode on your computer.
