Disabling Hibernation


This can be done on all systems without issue, if a MB is configured on Windows as a mobile platform Windows will hibernate when the screen goes black (meaning the customer will have to press the power button to wake back up)


1. Open elevated PowerShell


2. Enter the following


powercfg /h off


Hibernation will then be disabled on the system
