http://www.tutorialzip.com - This will show you how to enable or disable Windows 7 Hibernate by restoring or deleting the Hibernation File. When disabled, the Hibernate option is missing from the Start Menu, Shut Down Windows, and the Advanced Power Plan Options.

By default in Windows 7, the size of the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys) will be the same as the amount of installed RAM on your computer.

TO ENABLE: powercfg -h on

TO DISABLE: powercfg -h off

  • @FrankieJames7 WordPress is a free blogging platform. For example: chris(dot)pirillo(dot)com, tutorialzip(dot)com. It allows users to create a blogging site with an ease. If you are looking to create a blogging website I suggest you take a look at my website in the desc. box.

  • @GamePlayUpload It didn't work for me as well. However I needed it to stop the hibernation in hybrid sleep mode cause my display never turned on after hibernation so I used the solution in this article:

    And later found a setting in advanced power plan changes that disables hybrid sleep.
