Are you trying to put Windows 10 in hibernation mode but you can’t find this option in the Start of your PC? Don’t worry, in this MrAppsGeek article we will teach you how to activate and deactivate hibernation in Windows 10 in an easy and fast way.
What Is Hibernation Mode In Windows 10 And What Is It For?
It is one of the Windows shutdown modes with the exception that in this mode the computer enters a very deep “sleep” mode . In this way, all the system configuration, windows and settings that we had just before entering hibernation are saved . Said information is saved on the computer’s hard drive , so energy consumption is practically nil . Despite this, at the time of turning the PC back on we will recover all our activity prior to hibernation.
How Is Hibernation Mode And Standby Mode Different In Windows 10?
Despite being similar, standby and hibernation mode differ in:
- Suspend: It is a “deep sleep” in which all the configuration of the equipment is saved in the RAM of the PC . It uses very little energy and the recovery to the previous shutdown is very fast.
- Hibernate: It is practically a “crionization” of all the configuration prior to the hibernation of the equipment, which is saved on the hard drive of the PC. The energy consumption is practically nil and the recovery of the previous shutdown is not as fast as the sleep mode.
