Win 7 Hibernate

[Buckeye25]

Just wondering if you guys have noticed if hibernate option is missing on some builds of Win 7?? My colleage tried to tell me that she doesnt have the option to go to hibernate from start menu only sleep shutdown etc...

Has anyone noticed this?

Hello Buckeye,

She may not have hibernate selected in her Power Plan settings, or she may have disabled hibernation by mistake.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

so as far as you know its not turned off by default or something? I read somewhere that MS had the option removed for units with less then 4gb of memory due to time it took to resume something about the pagefile.

There were plenty of hibernating issues with vista from what I heard. I know that mine doesn't work... They could have scrapped it for the beta or totally.

I have hibernate set on my x86 Win7. Works great. Your friend needs to check the power plan. There is also a cmd to turn it back on. You have to run cmd as administrator.

powercfg /hibernate on

PS: Hibernate works great in Vista as well.

I discovered that disabling "Hybrid sleep" on advanced power options will add hibernation to the shutdown menu.

On a side note: My computer can only hibernate once, after that, if it has already hibernated once before during the session, it goes into a strange state where the power is never turned off, but I can't return to windows.

My notebook does the same thing. After the first time I hibernate, it turns the screen off and doesnt do anything. When I touch my keyboard, it makes that "ding" sound. Anyone have any ideas?

if you are sure this is a clean build then send feedback to MS....

How do I find "advanced power options" on Windows 7? I searched Control Panel and couldn't find them. Thanks.

 

[Mercurial]

click the start orb type advanced power option and click the first icon that appears

I enabled Hibernate on Windows 7. It works ... for a few seconds. When I hibernate the machine using either the menu or the power button it takes about 30 seconds to turn off, which is fine. Then after about another minute it turns back on and prompts for a login. And after that it stays on.

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks.

 

[mitchgrrt]

click the start orb type advanced power option and click the first icon that appears

Doing that I found

Configure advanced user profile properties
View advanced system settings
Manage advanced sharing settings

But not power settings.

Have you gone to device manager and selected properties for your network adapter and set the power options not to wake with this device?

Thanks, that seems to have worked. (I had a different network adapter.)

Hibernate - start up - hibernate again - no power off

Hi

On a side note: My computer can only hibernate once, after that, if it has already hibernated once before during the session, it goes into a strange state where the power is never turned off, but I can't return to windows.

This question/remark isn't answered and I have this issue. I have the hibernate button and the computer does never go automaticaly to hibernate state.
Powersettings network card are off:

My first hibernate shuts down fast, starts up after first hibernate is fast en everything works ok. Then I do a next hibernate and the computer does not shut down any more. I have to reset the computer and windows comes with the Safe Mode startup screen, where I select "Startup windows normaly", after that everything is working ok again.

What can I do, so I can do multiple hibernate's after each other, without a reboot?
Does anybody has a sollution for this? Thanks in advance.

Hibernate doesnt work if your C drive is with less space. I believe close 700MB or 1GB space is required for hibernate to work.
I have RC, and all the time use only the hibernate option. Every 2-3 days are whenever my lappy is slow in responding, wil restart it. Other than which, only hibernate. Also the hibernate is real quick in shuttin down and bootin up.
