Hibernate Shortcut - Create

New #11
Hi lordbob
I used your steps above to create a shortcut about a month or 2 months ago. But I forgot to do the Step 5, right which I just found out today. And, since then I think I've using that shortcut just to save time when turning my laptop on.
But yesterday I think, my mum mistakenly switched off my laptop by doing Shut Down which should be a problem normally but in my case, that turned out to be a big massive problem.
Here's the problem I had:
Now, I couldn't figure it out what was wrong and why all that happened until I saw this:Code:https://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/289794-blue-screen-death-unmountable-boot-volume.html
See the 2nd Disadvantage of Hibernation.Code:http://ittechsolution.com/hibernation-advantage-and-disadvantage
Now, I dunno why but I cannot see this Hiberfil.sys in my C drive at all. So I cannot see what's in it or how big it is, so what I did just now is followed your post from here:
Now, I have disabled the Hibernation by the Command Prompt Method, deleted that shortcut as well. I have just rebooted my laptop and waiting for it to turn on and see how it goes. As it is running very very very slow.Code:https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/819-hibernate-enable-disable.html
Never had any problem like that at all in my life. And it is doing my nut-in tbh.
Would you mind to have a look at my problem please?
Cheers

I would like the option of a 30 second delay w/message for use of an abort, similar to the option available for the shutdown shortcut tutorial. Is this possible with hibernate and how can I do this?

Hey Marc,
You could use the command below to create the shortcut with. Of course, you'll need to have hibernate enabled. :)
shutdown -h -f -t 30 -c "Your message here up to 512 characters"

No joy Shawn. Even tried variations on your command such as adding .exe to 'shutdown' and adding the full path such as C:\Windows\System32\... .
All that happens is a quick appearance of a command prompt. No message, no shutdown/hibernate, nada.

It appears the -h and -t switch can't be used together.
If you like, you could create a .bat file using the command below to effectively do the same.
Code:@echo off echo Your message here timeout /t 30 /nobreak shutdown -h -f

Shawn, the .bat file works perfectly, thx. This causes the appearance of a command prompt providing a y/n option to abort. This abort option in addition to a countdown display is way cool and I have no need of the message in this case.
However, I would like to control hibernation abort via an alternate route. Attached is a screen shot of a taskbar nested stack which contains my power management choices ('a work in progress'). Basically I am replacing the old windows power gadget with this. The shortcuts shown are as per the tutorials from the forums here. The restart & shutdown have a 30 second delay and I like the default pop-up warning (it would be way cool if the pop-up displayed a countdown, so I will probably be posting a request for this 'enhancement'). I added the abort button for these and would like to stay consistent with the hibernate and have it also recognize the abort button (using this .bat file the abort button does not function). I really like that abort button!
If this proves too complex or not possible I can 86 that abort button as long as I can get that same 'command prompt pop-up with abort y/n, countdown' option for the shutdown and restart. Would this .bat file serve as a template for this?
I've just spent 15 minutes putting together a pack to create a tutorial only to see this live post just as I'm about to start work on it. Nice find...Searches work wonders these days
