RELATED: How to Make Windows Hibernate More Often (Instead of Sleep) Windows 7: Make Your Laptop Work Like You Want You can configure this from Windows 10’s advanced power settings. RELATED: Should You Shut Down, Sleep, or Hibernate Your Laptop?Ĭlick “Save changes” at the bottom of the window to save your changes when you’re done.Įven after you set your laptop to sleep when it’s closed, Windows will automatically hibernate the laptop after a period of time in Sleep mode. (Note that hibernating itself takes some power-so, if you frequently close and reopen your laptop, setting it to hibernate each time might even use more power than setting it to sleep.)įor example, if you want your laptop to go to sleep when you close it on battery power, but to keep running when you close the lid while it’s plugged in, select “Do nothing” under “Plugged in” and “Sleep” under “On battery.” It won’t consume any power while hibernating, but turning it back on will take some extra time. In Hibernate, the laptop will save its state to disk. In Sleep, the laptop will remain in a low-power state so it can quickly resume.
Change the options to the right of “When I close the lid.” You can select “Do nothing,” “Sleep,” “Hibernate,” or “Shut down.” There are separate options for “On battery” and “Plugged in.”
