SSD usage (wears SSD out a bit which shouldn't matter to most people) slower entering sleep or standby (which only matters for SLEEP if you sit there waiting to ensure it did so) DDR3 sticks) is copied over to your system HDD/SSD. Good luck.Hibernation means that when you go into SLEEP or STANDBY mode the data in you system memory (i.e. Here is a simple graph showing the booting times for my Vostro V131 notebook with and without ‘hybrid boot’ (which gets disabled when you disable ‘hibernation’ in Windows 8) … So again, unless you really have no choice, keep it enabled. Note: As mentioned above, please remember that, if you disable hibernation in Windows 8, then it will affect your OS’s booting times negatively. In this page, under the ‘Shutdown settings’ section at the bottom, you will only see two options listed (‘Sleep’ & ‘Lock’), where previously it had two more options called: ‘Turn on fast start-up (recommended)’ and ‘Hibernate’. Or, you can go to ‘Control Panel’ -> ‘Hardware and Sound’ -> ‘Power Options’ -> ‘Change what power buttons do’, options page. And you should see a reduction (more or less, depending on the capacity of your RAM) in the disk space usage. Well, if you have a large RAM, then you can make a note of the disk space usage before and after disabling it. And then to enable it, this time, enter the below command instead of the above one. Follow the above first four steps to open up the ‘command prompt’ in administrative privileges. If it was successfully executed, then you should get a blank output (as shown above), and the hibernate file (‘hiberfile.sys’) should now be gone. Once it is opened, simply type the below command on its window (or you can copy it and right click on the ‘cmd’ window and choose ‘paste’ as well) and hit the ‘Enter’ key. From those options, choose the one called ‘Run as administrator’, as shown below.Ĭlick on the ‘Yes’ button of the message that appears next.Īfter that, the ‘command prompt’ in Windows 8 will be opened with administrative privileges. When you do that, on the bottom of that page, a new options panel will be opened. Then move your mouse pointer over its icon and right click on it. Then, simply search for the below term (just type it).Īs you can see in the above picture, as soon as you do that, Windows 8 will find you the ‘cmd’ (‘command prompt’) utility. If that is the case then you can try reducing its size though), then it can be done pretty easily.įirst, press the ‘Windows key’ on your keyboard to open the ‘Start screen’ window. However, if you want to disable it (say that you’re running out of free space on your Windows partition, and one cannot move the ‘hiberfile.sys’ to another partition either. As mentioned in a previous article, the hibernation feature in Windows 8 can have a direct impact on your computer’s performance (as it reduces the booting times impressively), therefore, unless you are having a serious issue, it is recommended that you keep it enabled.
