Hibernation feature of Windows is very good as it allows us to save the exact state of our computer and resume from there without consuming any electricity. The biggest difference between sleep and hibernation is that when you make a PC sleep, it consumes some electricity (although very low) whereas this is not the case with hibernation.
When one's computer hibernates, it saves the exact image of his system on hard drive and makes use of the system memory for faster login. If you will check out the hidden and protected operating system files in your installation drive, you will see a file called Hiberfil.sys in your operating system. This file is used for saving the system state when your system is hibernated and you will also see that its size is approximately equal to your installed RAM size.
Users who have disabled the hibernation features in your system then this file will be not present. You can manually enable or disable the hibernation option in your system by visiting the control panel or follow the below steps:
1. Open command prompt and ensure to run as Administrator power.
2. Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off (to turn Hibernation Off) or powercfg.exe /hibernate on (to turn Hibernation On).
3. Now exit
Users who are not comfortable working on commands, then you can also make use of automatic script from Microsoft that will do this for you. With the help of Microsoft Fix It, you can both enable and disable the hibernation in your system.
Just visit the link below, and you will get to know how to get this done automatically.
