    What's the difference between disabling hibernation through the power settings by selecting "never" in the hibernation section or using the command "powercfg.exe /h off" in the command line?

  2. Cannot turn off hibernation

    We have two relatively new identical HP ProDesk 400s running Windows 10. The computers often go into hibernation over night, preventing us from being able to log in remotely, and we can't shut off that feature. Our IT guy is also baffled. We have tried:



    Turning off hibernation in Windows

    Turning off hibernation in a command shell being run as administrator

    Changing the Windows power settings to high performance

    Updating Windows, drivers, BIOS

    Turning off power saving options in the BIOS

    Deleting Energy Star

    Setting the BIOS to have the computer wake up every morning at 7:00 automatically



    Basically, we have tried everything that makes any intuitive sense and anything the intertubes suggested we do. All HP could suggest in addition is reinstalling Windows, which is a bigger step than we would like to take.

  3. Missing hibernate button

    Hi Yusak,

    We would like to isolate this issue that you're having right now. Will you be able to provide the exact error message that you recieved?

    We suggest that you try to enable hibernation on your device using the Command Prompt.

    To make hibernation available, follow these steps:

    • Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
    • In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
    • At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate on, and then press Enter.
    • Type exit, and then press Enter to close the Command Prompt window.

    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.

    Hibernation and the Lack Thereof

    Hi,

    The hiberfil.sys takes too much of space on your hard drive if the hibernation is on. However, it's odd that even trying to turn the hibernation off using the command prompt, goes to no avail. We suggest that you turn off the Power management in Services
    before deleting the file in the drive C. Here are the steps on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows icon + R on your keyboard.
    • Type in Services.msc.
    • Look for Power.
    • Right-click on it, then select Stop.
    • Close the Dialog box, launch command prompt with admin rights.
    • Type in powercfg -h off
    • Close the command prompt, then try to delete the hiberfil.sys again.
    If you think this was useful, feel free to "mark it as an answer" to help those who are facing the same problem.
