Common Uses
Notes
Your device hardware should be considered when considering power management. A device with read-only storage and without network connectivity, for example, is unable to store the system state before entering hibernation and therefore is unable to use it as part of a power management plan.
The <SystemVolume>\Boot folder, typically C:\Boot, must be added to the File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) Exclusion list for hibernation to work when FBWF is helping to protect a system volume.
