Hibernation option is unavailable in Windows 7 Start menu
In many notebooks, very often I saw that there is an option of “Hibernation” is missing in the power button of Start Menu. It is one of the most recent problems encountered in Windows based systems. Actually, Hibernation is an advanced option of saving power without loosing your work. Quite often, it gets missed from Start Menu. Let us seek some steps which will solve this problem.
1. First option, is the Command method.
- Go to Start menu and type: “cmd” in order to open Command window and click [Ctrl+Shift+Enter] or [Run as administrator] to run DOS with admin rights.
Then type in cmd:
§ powercfg –h on
§ powercfg /hibernate off
§ powercfg /hibernate on
If you encounter any message like “Access Denied” or “You don’t have sufficient rights” then try running again as an Administrator.
This will surely solve your problem.
Secondly, if the above method didn’t worked, then try this method. This will solve your problem cent percent!
- Go to Windows Control Panel and open Power Options.
- Under your current selected power plan, click on “Change Plan Settings”
- Under this, click on “Advanced Power settings”.
- Make the setting “Allow Hybrid Sleep” as OFF and OFF on both or either ends.
