  1. Cant click anything on desktop after hibernate/sleep


    I cannot click on my desktop after resuming from hibernate/sleep and its kind of rude and annoying. After which I have to press ctrl+alt+del and bring Task Manager and I restarting my Windows Explorer through keyboard. I experience this issue from the time I updated from 20H1. So I did reformat my laptop assuming that the issue will disappear but same thing happened. Anybody knows a solution to this. Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Hibernate mode Vs Sleep Vs Hybrid sleep.

    I beg to differ. Hibernation is for whatever situation hibernation is needed for, be it on a desktop or a laptop. For instance, desktop users who suffer from frequent blackouts would rather opt for hibernation instead of sleeping.

    AFAIK, Sleep and Hibernate functions don't alter critical system files, so I don't think any permanent damage should occur. Worst I've seen are devices failing to wakeup properly, and that's easily fixed with a simple restart (or, in some cases, unpluging and repluging the device or restarting related services.)

    Sleep,hibernate, and shutdown

    Hi,

    Usually, Sleep and Hibernate features are used to save power when using a computer. However, hibernate may not be available for all PCs as it was designed for laptops. Regarding your concern, since you’re trying to turn
    off or disable these features, you may follow the step below:

    • To turn off Sleep:

      Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep. Then, select
      Never from the drop-down list under the Sleep section.

    • To disable Hibernate:
    • Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
      Start
      .
    • Right-click on it, then select Run as administrator.
    • In the Command Prompt window, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off and press
      Enter. Close the window.

    We’re just here if you need further help.
