How to know the time remaining before Windows turns into hibernation?

[lucekius]

Hello.

Is there a way, ideally through a Windows 7 Gadget, to know the time remaining before Windows 7 turns into hiberation?

Thanks!

Hello lucekius and welcome to Seven Forums.

I guess you're looking for some kind of countdown timer that would show how much time remains before hibernation. I think you'd have to look for some third party tools because I don't believe Windows 7 has that kind of countdown timer.

You can change hibernation settings through the Power Plan Settings.
