Cannot disable Hibernate

Hi,

This issue likely occurs if there are some settings on your computer that are affecting the power usage.
It's also possible that hibernation is already turned off when you run the command for the second time that's why you're getting the error. To troubleshoot your hibernation issue, we suggest resetting all default power plans to its default settings.
Here's how:

• Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes and press Enter.
• Restart your device to apply the changes.

Afterwards, you can try to disable hibernation again then check if the issue persists.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

Method 1

I suggest you to run the Power troubleshooter and check if the issue persists:

• Press Windows key to launch Start screen.
• Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes and click on Troubleshooting.
• In the new window, click View all on the left pane.
• In the list of options, click on Power.
• Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Method 2: Reset and restore the power plans to default

I suggest you to reset the power settings and check if it helps. Follow the steps to restore the power settings:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Choose Command prompt (Admin) from the context menu.
• In the command prompt, type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes and hit
  Enter.
• Exit command prompt.
• Check whether you are getting the Hibernate option.

Note: This would reset the power plan settings to default. Any customized power plans are would be removed.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

No option to disable Fast Startup


I don't have it on my laptops either, and the reason being is that I have hibernate disabled. I think some of you are missing a step.

If the option is there, but grayed-out, then you can click the link to show the options and change them.

If the option isn't visible, then hibernate is disabled.
