Hibernate mode is another state that you can leave your computer at other than Sleep or Shut down.
When then Hibernate mode is on, it takes a snapshot of your system files and drivers, and then saves that snapshot to your hard driver before shutting down. This allows your PC to restart faster.
Hibernate is enabled by default. It reserves some of your disk for its file, which could occupy up to 75% of your computer’s installed RAM. So, you might want to disable it if you don’t really need this function.
In this post, we will show you how to enable and disable Hibernate mode on Windows 10. Please read along for more detailed information.
