Hibernate and Sleep are similar on most laptops, at first glance, but there are some key differences that make Hibernate a better choice for certain situations. Putting your computer into Hibernation completely shuts it down and draws no power at all.
All of your progress, open data, and running software are packaged in a Hibernation File which is stored on the hard drive. Like Sleep Mode, Hibernate allows you to save all of your progress and essentially resume your work on the exact screen that was showing before you stepped away.
Hibernate would be great for a work trip, for example, where you may be going through the airport without power for a few hours but will want to resume your work progress right away. Mac users will be fine using Sleep Mode, Safe Sleep mode, which is an automatic hibernation that kicks in when the battery gets low, and regular shut downs. You can put your PC into Hibernate mode by choosing it under the Start menu. Sleep mode is a good option when there is no risk of power outage, because unlike hibernation it doesn't save all your work as it is.
If you are worried about losing your work, opt for the Hibernate mode. The main benefit of Hibernate mode is that it allows you to resume working exactly where you left off. So all the apps you were using will be open, and all the documents and windows that were open will be ready for you to continue.
It also takes longer to start up again because it has to read all the data from the file. The Hibernation file can take up lots of space on your hard drive and SSD, even if you never actually put your PC into Hibernation mode.
It makes it easy to disable the hibernation file at the click of a button. That all you need to do! Shutting down your PC closes all the apps that were open, clears the contents of RAM, and gets rid of temporary files that were created during the sessions — provided you shut down properly. If your PC shuts down suddenly, it may not delete temporary files.
To power it up again all you need to do is open the lid or push the power button. Hibernating your computer turns it off completely but allows you to continue to resume all work. How so? It then shuts off the entire computer so it draws zero watts from the outlet. Once you push the power button, the entire system unfreezes and you can go on working. Hibernating your Windows PC or Mac allows you to suspend your computer without drawing electricity or battery life.
Click on the Start button in your taskbar and then on Hibernate. To wake it up again, you have to push the power button. If that option is not visible, right-click on the little battery icon in your taskbar.
Then click Power Options. On the left hand side, click on Choose what closing the lid does. Select Change settings that are currently unavailable and tick the little box next to Hibernate.
Hibernation on Mac is an interesting animal: Apple hides this option very deeply as it wants you to use the Sleep option first and foremost.
Shutdown ends all your applications and completely powers off the laptop or desktop PC. It clears all memory, which is why I personally use it every days to keep my system fast and responsive. It also feels like clearing up your desk a little bit. Shutting down your PC or Mac is great for getting a clean slate the next morning. It puts all information that Windows requires for a speedy startup into your RAM, which is very similar to sleep mode. This is disabled on laptops or tablets because they have a battery, but if yours is dying or if you just like the concept of hybrid sleep, then you should enable it.
For example, PCs with InstantGo don't have the hibernate option. Use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop or tablet for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.
First check to see if this option is available on your PC and if it is, turn it on. Select Choose what the power button does , and then select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Under Shutdown settings , select the Hibernate checkbox if it's available , and then select Save changes. Tap or click Shut down or sign out and choose Hibernate. Or, swipe in from the right edge of the screen and then tap Settings. If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Settings.
For Windows 7, click the Start button , click the arrow next to the Shut down button, and then click Hibernate. Note: If devices connected to your PC like monitors, printers, or scanners aren't working properly after waking up from sleep or hibernate, you might need to disconnect and reconnect your device or restart your PC.
You should also make sure that you have the most current drivers for all of your devices.
