Hibernate Enable or Disable 1.5

Hibernation is the process of saving existing content in memory to your hard drive to allow your PC to completely shut down. When your computer hibernates, it takes a snapshot of system files and drivers and saves that snapshot to the hard drive before shutting down. This allows your computer to boot faster, Hibernate is enabled by default and dedicates part of your disk to its “hiberfil.sys” file. At any time, you can turn on your PC to resume from hibernation and continue working where you left off.

If you want to free up space on your drive, you can turn off hibernation if you rarely use this feature. So the main reason you might want to disable hibernation on your computer is if you really need more hard drive space.

In fact, if you are using an SSD for your Windows 10 computer, it is better to turn off the hibernation function to save SSD life. Whenever the operating system goes into hibernation, it writes the contents of its RAM to hiberfil.sys and then powers down. On systems with solid state drives, continuous writes to a hibernation file can be hazardous to the health of the SSD, because unlike a regular hard drive, an SSD can only sustain a limited number of writes. before breaching or voiding the warranty. That's why, on most modern laptops with SSDs, hibernation is disabled by default. “Enable or disable hibernation” is a very simple portable freeware to disable or enable hibernation.

Supported operating systems: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Xp (32 and 64-bit).
