What’s Hibernate Mode on Windows 11?
Hibernation lets you put your computer in a mode that puts it to sleep instead of shutting it off. Before it shuts down, your computer will take a snapshot of all system files and drivers from RAM and save it to your hard drive. Hibernation reduces the startup time of your computer. It doesn’t need to re-establish files or settings. Windows 11 does not offer Hibernate as a default feature, but you can restore hibernate. These are the steps you need to follow.
