Situatie
On Windows 10, hibernation is a power-saving feature that saves the content in memory onto the hard drive (inside the “Hiberfil.sys” hidden system file), allowing a complete shutdown of the device to extend battery life without losing your current work. The next time you resume, the previous session will load into memory, allowing you to pick up where you left off.

Enable hibernation using Command Prompt
- Open Start
- Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option
- Type the following command to confirm if hibernation is already enabled on your device and press Enter: powercfg /availablesleepstates
- Quick note: If Hibernate appears under the “The following sleep states are available on this system” section, then the feature is enabled, and you don’t need to continue with step 4.
- Type the following command to enable the feature on your computer and press Enter: powercfg /hibernate on
Once you complete the steps, Windows 10 will enable hibernation on your computer. However, it’s not a feature available on all system configurations. If you’re unable to use hibernation on Windows 10, it could be for one of these reasons:
- Graphics card driver doesn’t support this power state. Updating to the latest video driver may fix this issue.
- Hibernation may be supported, but it’s not enabled inside the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) or legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Accessing the motherboard firmware and adjusting the settings using your device manufacturer support website may resolve the problem.
- Hybrid sleep feature is enabled. In some cases, you may need to disable this feature before hibernation becomes available.
- Hardware is not compatible with hibernation. For example, devices with InstantGo don’t have the hibernate option.
Add the hibernation option to the Power menu on Start
- Open Control Panel
- Click on Hardware and Sound
- Click on Power Options
- Click the “Choose what closing the lid does” option from the left pane.
- Quick tip: If you’re using a desktop computer, you can select the “Choose what the power buttons do” option to get to the settings
- Click the “Change settings that are currently unavailable” option to modify the Shutdown settings.
- Check the Hibernate option
- Click the Save changes button.
After you complete the steps, the “Hibernate” option will be available in the Power menu in the Start menu, Lock screen, and Power-user menu (Windows key + X keyboard shortcut).
Customize power button to hibernate
- Open Control Panel
- Click on Hardware and Sound
- Click on Power Options
- Click the “Choose what closing the lid does” option from the left pane
- Under the “Power and sleep buttons and lid settings” section, use the drop-down menu to allow your device to enter into the hibernation state when you press the power or sleep button, or when closing the laptop lid.
Once you complete the steps, your computer will enter into hibernation depending on your configuration.
