Disable or turn off hibernate mode in windows 10 - thats what we gonna

see in this post - Works on Windows 10 Creators Update, Windows 10

Anniversary Update, and other editions of Windows like Windows 10 earlier builds like Aug 2015

and Nov 2015 builds..

In our last post, we had seen how to enable hibernate mode in windows 10, but it is best practice to

turn off hibernate mode when you are on low disk space..

What happens on hibernation ??




The process involved in hibernation is very vast, but i can explain in some simple words..

When we click hibernate our PC will save the current state of the process running on the device into

a system file called hiberfile.sys which will occupy a large amount of space when we perform

hibernation randomly. we can delete the file by using disk clean up  many of us who are beginners

are still unaware of the dangerous side of this hibernation that happens in low end PCs.So its better

to turn it off in Windows 10 when you have low disk space.

But, how?? You will only perform hibernation when you know the right step right? So, here i had

decided to show the way that will  hide the hibernation mode which can also be done using

powershell and command prompt...

Lets see how it can be done..


Just follow the below steps..

1) Open Control Panel.
