| Microsoft Windows provides hibernation features that allows your computer to save current system states to a system file and restore it when your PC is powered on next time. You may have some reason to enable/disable or re-enable hibernation option. It is easy to turn on or turn off hibernation in power settings in some old version of Windows. However, in Windows 7 you can no longer turn on or turn off hibernation simply by going to power settings.

Follow these steps to disable Windows hibernation option:

Continue button in the User Account Control dialog.
- In the command prompt, type the following command:
powercfg /hibernate off
- Press ENTER and exit command prompt.
The hibernation option will be unavailable from Shut Down menu and Advanced Power Plan Options. To check whether hibernation option is disabled, click Start, expand the Shut Down menu (click the arrow button on the right side of Shut Down button  ), you will find the Hibernate option is missing from the opened menu. When you make hibernation option disabled, you also have the hiberfil.sys file removed from C: drive, this will save a few gigabytes of disk space. So it is a good idea to turn off hibernation if you don't have enough disk space in C: drive.
To make hibernation available, follow these steps :
- Click Start, and then type cmd in the Search box.
- In the results list, right-click Command Prompt and click Run as Administrator. Click
Continue button in the User Account Control dialog.
- In the command prompt, type the following command:
powercfg /hibernate off
- Press ENTER and exit command prompt.
The hibernation option will be available both in Shutdown menu and Power Option. To check whether hibernation option is enabled, click Start, expand the Shut Down menu (click the arrow button on the right side of Shut Down button ), you will find the Hibernate option listed in the menu.
