1. Open a command window with admin privileges, go to step A or B according to your need

A. To disable Hibernate (hibernate feature is on by default) type powercfg –h off and press enter

    Hi,

    There must be a mistake! I think.

    Because under Windows 7 (7100) it is : powercfg /hibernate off

    This does not work with /h

    Best regards

    @Neo

    it works with either -h, /h or -hibernate, /hibernate

    there is no change and there wont be either. try powercfg /? and see
