Desktop Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate Icons

I discovered some time ago a simple means of adding two desktop icons to cover Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate. I now use these icons all the time as it avoids using the Start procedure, which I never use at all unless I wish to Restart immediately after shutdown. Even then, I tend to use my desktop icons. Just close the browser, click the desktop icon and it is done.

On your desktop, right click the free space, then click new shortcut, you get a Wizard, copy/paste the command for the location type from one of the below commands (in this case, %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState ). Then click Next. You are asked to give it a title - Standby, Hibernate or Shutdown, I suggest using "Standby/Hibernate", click Finish.

Shutdown: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Reboot: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r
Logoff: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l
Standby: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Hibernate: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate
I have listed Hibernate for reference only, as the Hibernate desktop icon does not work for systems reasons, Hibernate can only be achieved by manually using the Power Options properties panel.

Use CNTRL+C to copy and CNTRL+V to paste.

Hibernate is automatic if the Hibernate box is checked in the Power Options properties panel. If the box is not checked, then Standby is automatic. You have to select this box to give you the option you want.

Standby is more convenient if you are using the PC constantly, it is a quicker recovery, but has a power trickle. For long periods of absence, use Hibernate, it is much slower in recovering, but effectively shuts your computer down.

The Power options panel is found by Control Panel>Power Options>Hibernate.

The two desktop icons created can be changed by Right clicking the icon then Properties>Change icon>Browse>Windows 32>shell32dll>select icon>OK>Apply>OK
You now have two brand new icons on your desktop for Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate. It works a treat.

My icons are :-

 

S4 (hibernation) USB/network wake up

Hi,

I have this annoying problem. When my computer enters the S4 powerstate (hibernation) I can wake it up by just clicking with the mouse. Even when EuP is enabled the mouse can still wake up the computer. After a night of sleep I find the computer powered on. So not only can the mouse wake up the system, it also seems that network traffic can too.

I thought that hibernation was like power off but with the option to save the RAM to disk. At least before I always need to push the power button to boot after hibernation.

Any suggestions?

Waking and Hibernate issues with new Laptop

Hello



I recently purchased a new laptop running windows 11 and found that

1. If I select the external mouse NOT to wake the PC in Power Management tab in properties, it continues to wake it. I tried different brands both wired and wireless and all showed the same issue.
   
2. If I select the internal mousepad To Wake the PC in power management tab in properties - NOTHING happens.
   
3. If I select the lid to wake the PC when it is open, this works as expected for up to 3 hours but at this point, when I open the lid, the PC does NOT wake up and the screen remains black. I have to press the power button to wake/reboot the PC as hitting the keyboard or mouse does nothing. I am then presented with a login window. It feels as though the PC goes from sleep into a hibernate mode after 3 hrs. The hibernate function is not listed in the advanced power options menu and neither does it show up when I click on the power button. Since I did not select the laptop to hibernate after 3 hrs sleep I have no idea what is going on.
   

I have an old Lenovo laptop running win10 and I have complete control of the lid and wake devices and so have no idea why I do not have the same control with this new laptop.

I do not know if these issues are related to the manufacturers setting rather than issues with Win11? I have heard that MS removed the Hibernate option from the power button and/or advanced power options list BUT wasnt aware that Hibernate was still operating under the bonnet and kicks in after 3 hrs sleep !?

any guidance would be helpful as the manufacturer is stating that this is normal behaviour. From my previous 20 years experience working with PC's and laptops, this is definitely NOT normal.
