Restore hibernation

Restoring Hibernation

Using the hibernate features in Vista, is very helpful when you have a notebook, but in the case the option disappeared from Shutdown menu accessible via the start button?

One possible cause is that there is an option to delete the hibernation file in the disk Cleaner for Windows Vista.Maybe you have deleted it!!!

Quick Solution

• Click Start> All Programs> Accessories
• Right click on "Command Prompt"
• Run as administrator
• At the command prompt, type:

powercfg -h on

And now, the option has reappeared!

Explanations

Powercfg is a tool used by command line and allows users to control the power settings on a system.

The-h option is equivalent to "hibernation" of your machine. This is what gives us:

-HIBERNATE, -H  <ON|OFF>

              Enables or disables the hibernation. The period of hibernation is not supported on all systems.

              Utilisation : POWERCFG -H <ON|OFF>

Note

Complete list of options is available via: powercfg?
