When you walk away from your computer
for just a while, you might not want to shut it completely down.
Therefore, the developers have made some modes that users can set their
computers on, in order to save a little power, like sleep and hibernate.
Based on how long you're gonna be away for, you will choose the mode
accordingly. Sleeping mode is for short breaks, and one should choose
hibernate when they are going away for quite a while. What hibernate
basically does is to save everything you're doing on the harddisk and
shut the computer down.
Then when you turn on the pc again, it loads up
everything, returning your computer back to the state before it has shut
down. Unfortunately, windows 8 users might have noticed that the
hibernate option is missing when they click the power button.
It is
like that by default in windows 8, but you can get back the hibernate
function by following our instructions below.
1. Click the battery icon
on the lower right corner.
2. Then click "More power options".
3. On the
left panel, click "Choose what the power buttons do".
4. Now click
"Change settings that are currently unavailable".
5. Scroll down to the
section of "Power options settings" and check the box next to "Show
Hibernate".
6. Finally, click "Save changes" and the hibernate option
should be there when you click the power button.
7. Enjoy!
Being able to
hibernate allow you to save a lot of power. Especially when you are
going to leave your computer alone for an extended amount of time, and
you don't want to close the programs that are open. We hope this is what
