Windows 7 Hibernate - NOT

Hello Bruce, It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with Windows 7 not hibernating properly, especially in contrast to Ubuntu which seems to be handling hibernation without any problems. Let's troubleshoot this issue and see if we can resolve it. Here are some steps you can try to fix the hibernation problem in Windows 7: 1. Check Power Settings: - Go to Control Panel > Power Options and ensure that the hibernation option is enabled. - Click on "Choose when to turn off the display" and then "Change advanced power settings" to check the power plan settings. 2. Update Device Drivers: - Make sure all your device drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers, are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues with hibernation. 3. Check for Software Conflicts: - Sometimes third-party software can interfere with hibernation. Try disabling startup programs and non-essential services to see if hibernation works. 4. Run Power Configuration Troubleshooter: - Windows has a built-in power troubleshooter that can help identify and fix power-related issues. 5. Check Disk Space: - Make sure you have enough free space on your hard drive for hibernation to work properly. 6. Check System Files: - Run a system file check to scan for any corrupted system files that may be affecting hibernation. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the command sfc /scannow. 7. Hibernate Feature: - Open Command Prompt as administrator and run powercfg -h on to enable the hibernation feature. 8. BIOS Settings: - Check your BIOS settings to ensure that there are no settings preventing hibernation. After trying these steps, attempt to hibernate your Windows 7 system again and see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, there may be a more specific underlying cause that requires further investigation. Let me know if you need more assistance or if the issue is resolved after trying these steps.
