The hibernation mode is provided so that at a time when the user is absent from the computer for a long time, it would be possible to reduce power consumption to a minimum. Sometimes this mode creates some difficulties. Read on to find out how to turn it off.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the "Start" button menu, note "Control Panel". In the window that appears, double-click on the "Power supply" icon. A window will appear in front of you. To turn off the hibernation mode on the left side of it, click on the link "Setting the transition to sleep mode". A window will appear in front of you where you can configure the duration of the inactivity period, after which the system will automatically go into sleep mode. To disable the mode altogether, select "Never".
Step 2
Click on the "Change advanced parameters" link. You will need this to change subtle settings, such as changing power modes, which determine the behavior of the system in accordance with different situations, cause the need to enter sleep mode, and also set a timer to wake up the system from sleep mode.
Step 3
Disable hibernation to free up space on your hard drive. When the system enters this mode, it automatically reserves a large enough space for various kinds of operations. If this mode is disabled, then the space occupied by the hiberfill.sis files can be freed. To do this, follow these steps.
Step 4
Go to the "Start" button menu, then select "Programs", in it find "System Tools" and finally "Disk Cleanup". A window will appear in front of you. Check the box next to "Clean up hibernation files" and click OK. This will delete the files and disable hibernation.
Step 5
Go to the Start button menu, select Run. A command line window will appear in front of you. To turn off hibernation, enter the following on the command line: powercfg-H OFF. After this command, the hibernation mode will be disabled. Perform disk cleanup as described in the previous paragraph.
