This article guides you enabling “hibernate” mode on Windows 10 while turning the computer off.

Know more about hibernate option

When you are shutting down your PC, you can choose to:

• Turn it off completely
• Make it sleep
• Hibernate the PC

Hibernate uses less power than sleep. When you turn on the PC again, you will be back to where you left off – even if this option is not as fast as the sleep mode.

Use hibernation when you know that:

1. You will not use your laptop or tablet for an extended period of time
2. You could not charge the battery during that time.

6. Choose the option What the power buttons do
7. Select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
