Add or Remove Hibernate on Power menu in Windows 11
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Hibernate on the power menu for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Hibernate is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops, and might not be available for all PCs. (For example, PCs with Modern Standby may not have hibernate available.)

Hibernate uses less power than sleep and when you start up the PC again, you’re back to where you left off (though not as fast as sleep). Use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop or tablet for an...
