Windows 10: Can`t enable Hibernation! - Regedit/POWERCFG not helping!

Calling all windows 10 experts! I need your help!

Just updated my Transformer T100HA to the Anniversary update. In order to get enough disk space to perform the update, I disabled hibernation with POWERCFG /h off from the command line, which disabled hibernation, deleted the hibernate file and gave me enough space to upgrade.

Now I`m successfully on the anniversary update, I simply cannot get Hibernation to turn on again. Heres what I`ve tried to far,

Registry change (from this very foum) - tried both the .REG file and updating manually.
POWERCFG /h ON from and elevated command line
Full system restore/reset from settings

Still I cant see the option to hibernate in advanced power options!

When I look in power options the hibernation option is simply not there.

Really appreciate some help as I`ve run out of ideas. thanks!

:)

 

Windows 10 gets stuck booting with some laptop configurations if hibernation is enabled. Please make it easy to disable hibernation

Open Administrator Command Prompt:

• powercfg /H OFF <-- this will eliminate all hibernation types
• powercfg /H REDUCED <-- this allows for a smaller hiberfil.sys, which only allows for Fast Startup.
• powercfg /H /? <-- explains options

powercfg /h /?

POWERCFG /HIBERNATE <ON|OFF>
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /SIZE <PERCENT_SIZE>
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /TYPE <REDUCED|FULL>
Alias:

POWERCFG /H
Description:

Enables/disables the hibernate feature or sets the hiberfile size.
Parameter List:

<ON|OFF> Enables/disables the hibernate feature.
/SIZE <PERCENT_SIZE> Specifies the desired hiberfile size as a percentage

of the total memory size. The default size cannot be

smaller than 40. This parameter will also cause

hibernate to be enabled.
/TYPE <REDUCED|FULL> Specifies the desired hiberfile type. A reduced

hiberfile only supports hiberboot.
Examples:

POWERCFG /HIBERNATE OFF
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /SIZE 100
POWERCFG /HIBERNATE /TYPE REDUCED

Also, in Settings - Power & sleep - Additional power settings you can
Choose what the power button does.

There you can uncheck Turn on fast startup. That might eliminate this issue without disabling hibernation, if full hibernation actually still works well for you. You may just have one hardware component that is not resuming from sleep state
properly, but that can be hard to track down.

 

problem with enable hibernation in windows 10

i want to enable hibernation in windows 10 but it 's option does not available in power options i even enter this command in elevated command prompt powercfg/h on but don 't work

 

• Go to: Control Panel - Power Options - Change Plan Settings - Change Advanced Power Settings.
• Choose, when you want to hibernate, eg. Power buttons and lid - Power button action - Hibernate.

When hiberfil.sys file is created on C partition, you will know, that you have succeeded.

 

Many thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately the hibernate option are not available to me in control panel - which is my problem!

 

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:


reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /v "HiberbootEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
powercfg -h on

 

I`ve tried the registry changes once before, but I`ll give this a try just in case, and I`ll let you know the result tonight. Thanks again for your help.

 

Hope it works. Actually I have hibernate disabled and there is not the option, but once those are applied, it appears.

 

perhaps if room is that tight there simply is not enough room for powercfg -h On to create the File?

no joy.....BTW for referenceI have already done a cleanup of the drive after installing the anniversary update and have 14GB free.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /v "HiberbootEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -h on

C:\WINDOWS\system32>shutdown /h
The request is not supported.(50)

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

 

That is it, I have got a message 126, that hibernation is not enabled, but you have got 50, that it is not supported.

That means, that you are missing some drivers, most likely ACPI power management driver, maybe chipset as well.

Use Driver Easy Free to see, if it finds anything missing or outdated.

 

Got 16 outdated drivers, no missing drivers, nothing power realated as far as I can see. Heres a list of the drivers being listed as outdated::

Broadcomm Serial Bus Driver over UART Bus Enumerator
Intel SST Audio Device
Intel Dymanic Platfom and Thermal Framework Generic Particiant Driver
Intel Trusted Execution Engine Interface
Intel Integrated Sensor Solution
Intel HID Event Filter
HID Advanced Sensor Collection
HID Advanced Sensor Collection v2
Intel HD Graphics
HID PCI Minidriver for ISS (x6)

 

You should definitely update them, particularly Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Generic Participant Driver.

 

Ok no worries, ill update the lot and report back when done. Appreciate all you help so far.

 

Is it possible that because you're using a tablet without that much storage space, upgrading to Anniversary edition has set the default HIbernation to Reduced which is enough to support Hybrid/Fast Boot but not full HIbernation ?

If this is the case you can change the Hibernate file type by opening an Elevated Command Prompt and running the command

powercfg /h /type full

This is what I've needed whenever I've reinstalled windows on on my Lenovo Miix 3 1030 tablet to enable hibernation support so it's worth a try.

There's more details on the hibernate file types here along with the correct commands to switch between them
