Managing Power 3-8
Hibernation
NOTE: When using Windows, make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the “When I
press the power button,” “When I press the sleep button,” and “When I close the lid” of the Power
Options  Advanced Properties from the Control Panel.
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications
when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open
and running, and normally they all have to be closed before the computer can be
turned off.
When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications.
The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on the hard disk and then
shuts down. The next time you turn on your computer, you return to exactly
where you left off.
