Hibernation and
Your Computer
Many people with desktop
computers don't know that you can hibernate
your computer, instead of powering off.
You do not need to be using a notebook/laptop
to use power-saving features.
| When
a computer is put into hibernation
a record is
kept of everything that is in the computers
memory (RAM). This includes information
like what programs are running, all
the files that are currently open (perhaps
you're working on a Word document),
etc. A snapshot is taken of exactly
what is happening on your computer,
which is then saved to disk in a special
file. After it is saved, the computer
is then switched off automatically.
When you switch the computer back on
that snapshot is read from disk
and
you are returned to exactly where you
left off. |
|
By default Windows is
not configured to use the hibernation
power saving features so we must enable
them before we can use them.
 |
Note: You
must be logged on as an administrator
or a member of either the Administrators
or Power Users group in order
to complete this procedure.
If your computer is connected
to
a network, network policy settings
might also prevent you from
completing this procedure.
