How To: Turn Off Hibernation in Window 10

How To: Turn Off Hibernation in Window 10

If you’re ever having trouble with your computer not waking up after you put it to sleep, you may be having trouble with Hibernation.

Essentially when you put the computer to sleep, it puts the computer into a very low power state but keeps all the documents you’re working on in memory, so your computer can start up again quickly and have what you’re working on available to you again.

If your computer is sleeping for a certain amount of time, it then will go into hibernation mode. It will take your documents you’re working on and save it to the Hard Disk, then index what you’re working on. In this case, it will then load those documents back up into memory when you wake the computer again.

In most cases, this can be helpful, but sometimes it can cause issues if it isn’t working correctly, so it is helpful to be able to turn hibernation off.

So here is how to do it:


1 Search for power in the start menu:
Power

2.       Click on edit power plan and it will open a new window, you then want to click on the advanced options:



3.       You will then be presented with a new window with a bunch of options, you will want to find the one marked sleep and open the submenu and you will find hibernate after option:





Here is where you can set the option to never go into hibernation.


I wouldn’t try and change this unless you’re having issues, but it is helpful to know how to get to the power option if you’re trying to troubleshoot issues on your pc.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope this was helpful.

Windows 10 Compression

You may have heard the term compression before and not be quite sure about what it is and what your options are to use compression. Compression will take the files you have and compress them down to a smaller size to save disk space. It uses symbols and special characters to replace words or phrases to save you disk space. There are a couple of different ways to compress your files, you can use the built-in NTFS compression. NTFS Compression Windows by default has compression built into its NTFS format. NTFS format is a formatting system for hard drives before you can begin to use the hard drive. We will not go into specifics of all that, but know that if you're using Windows, chances are you’re using the NTFS format. Within this format, compression is allowed if you enable it.  Compression and decompression is done on the fly without you noticing… maybe, we will get to that later. So if you save a file, in the background it will compress a file as soon as you hit save. And o...

Google Pixel 4 Review

I ended up picking up Google Pixel 4, as I wanted a phone with more security as the news of more and more phones that are being hacked. I chose the Pixel 4 as the phone always connects to a TLS DNS server so it can’t be intercepted, or maybe not intercepted as easily. I didn’t get the Pixel 4 XL as I really don’t want a large object in my pocket all the time, I mean I only have room for one large object in my pants…. But for real, to me, the extra-large was just too big. Honestly, the first thing I noticed on the phone was the screen, not only the beautiful screen resolution that sits 1080 x 2280 resolution. But I also liked the way it felt to the touch, so smooth. Almost, too smooth, I set it on a bench in a meeting at work, the table was only slightly tilted, and it slipped right off the desk. Going to find a cover that has a bit of grip on it. But the Gorilla glass adds a nice touch to the screen. Scratch-resistant, sand and water-resistant. From the tech specs, it can...
