GNet Solutions » Windows Administration

I have a few workstations that I do not use hibernation on, and such I do not need the hiberfil.sys (hibernation files).

• Open a command prompt as an administrator.

• Then disable hibernation by running the following command:
  

  powercfg -h off
  

There will not be any output or notification, but the hibernation file will be deleted.
