By using this mode, you can turn off your computer completely without saving files or exiting any
programs that are running. When the computer enters hibernation mode, all open programs, folders, and
files are saved to the storage drive, and then the computer turns off.
To put the computer into hibernation mode, do the following:
– For Windows 7: Open the Start menu and click the arrow next to the Shut down button. Click
Hibernate from the menu displayed.
– For Windows 10: Define what the power button does first, and then press the power button to put the
computer into hibernation mode.
If you put your computer into hibernation mode with the wake-up function disabled, the computer does
not consume any power. The wake-up function is disabled by default. If you put your computer into
hibernation mode with the wake-up function enabled, the computer consumes a small amount of power.
To enable the wake-up function, do the following:
1. Open Control Panel, view Control Panel by Category, and then click System and Security.
2. Click Administrative Tools.
3. Double-click Task Scheduler. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type the password or provide confirmation.

scheduled tasks are displayed.
