How to Turn On or Turn Off Hibernation mode in windows 10?

A Hibernate option in Windows 10 under Start > Power. Hibernation is kind of a mix between a traditional shutdown and sleep mode primarily designed for laptops. Hibernation (or suspend to disk) in computing is powering down a computer while retaining its state. Upon hibernation, the computer saves the contents of its random access memory (RAM) to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage.

When you tell your PC to hibernation, it saves the current state of your PC—open programs and documents—to your hard disk and then turns off your PC. Here we are going to show you how to Turn On or Turn Off Hibernation mode in your windows 10 machine.
