Hibernation saves your open documents and programs on your hard-disk into the file C:\hiberfil.sys and then owers off the computer. The file C:\hiberfil.sys is a hidden and system-protected file that is approximately 75% of the total amount of RAM. The problem of hibernation is that it stores in the C:\hiberfil.sys important programs data (such as decryption keys for encrypted USBs or hard-disks), thus for security reasons I personally recommend to disable it.
You can disable hibernation via cmd.exe like this:
Run cmd.exe as Administrator and type:
powercfg -hibernate off |
Or you can disable hibernation via a .reg file like this:
Copy the below content in a new .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power] "HibernateEnabled"=dword:00000000 |
Save it as disable-hibernation.reg and double-click it.
On the popup click “Yes”, then reboot the PC.
