    You could use keyboard remapping software like SharpKeys then map a key to do shutdown /h /t 0

    That will force an immediate Hibernate.

    There are many other keyboard remappers, that's just the first one I found via a Google search.

    Hello Mil0s,

    If that fails, here's a hibernation shortcut that you could use and assign a keyboard shortcut to if you like as well.

    Hope this helps,

    Glad you got it.

    How does that give you a one click Hibernate though?
