How do you hibernate in Windows 10?

@Lexusgs: You're right, but it is 100% useful if you really want to manage your available internet data for something very important. Else the update will exhaust it.

@Nduxx. This is how to Hibernate your PC


On your Task bar,

- Right click on the battery icon
- At the right side, Click "Choose what the power button does
- Under "Define Power button and turn....." Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
- Down below, you can now tick "Hibernate" Then Save.

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE.


Set the Power Button to Hibernate

You can also set The Power Button to Hibernate. To do that,
- On the same page, Click the dropdown box "When I press the power button:"
- Set both "On battery" and "Plugged in" to "Hibernate" then save.

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE.



Note: Too much Hibernation might crash your PC.
