Windows 10: Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 10

Great news. You're most welcome. *Smile

 

Windows 10 x64 desktop installed on a Samsung SSD 850 Pro (512GB)









It is unclear whether in this scenario hibernation is useful. Can't find a clear answer on that.
Some say 'Leave it to Windows' others say 'It may only be useful in case of laptops'.
I don't know.

Hello tfwul, *Smile

It really depends on your wants and needs for if Hibernate is useful or not.

Here are some things to consider:

• Hibernate can use up a large amount of disk space.
• When you hibernate, it does take a bit to save everything to memory before it actually hibernates.
• If there are periods of time you don't use the computer and too short to be shutting down, you can hibernate to save energy and make it easy to pick up where you left off when ready to resume.
• If you use "Fast Startup", you must have hibernate enabled.
• If you only want to use "Fast Startup" and not hibernate, you can specify the hiberfil as reduced to save disk space.

 

Hello,

Is there a way to disable hibernate on a wondows 10 computer without booting it up?
Maybe there is a linux program that can do this? Wine or other...
My computers arrangement changed and it won't boot now, and it had just upgraded at the time... it's been a while till I got around to it.

thanks

 

Hello JollyJo, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

I'd say it may be best to start a new thread in the forum area to try and get the won't boot issue fixed first before worrying about disabling hibernate. This way it'll be easy to disable while in Windows.
