Windows Hibernation is probably a good idea to keep working on your device if you use a Laptop computer. A Desktop computer though is different and Hibernation is probably never used.
The feature is designed to allow you to resume work quickly after shutting down your computer instead of consuming power in ‘Sleep Mode’. It can be useful if you leave your Laptop running and the battery runs low. Given most PC’s do not have batteries it can be got rid of easily and safely to regain the space on your drive it consumes. Read about Hibernation on a Wikipedia article here.
To disable the feature start by right clicking on the ,Windows Start Button’ and selecting ‘Windows Powershell (Admin)’
In the pop up window that opens up, copy & paste the following code.
*Note: you may get a pop up window asking for authorisation to run Powershell. You must agree to this for Windows to run the application.
powercfg.exe /hibernate off
Once that is pasted click your ENTER key to execute the command.
Done, Windows will take care of the rest for you. No need for the feature to take up space if you do not use it.
