Hibernation in MBP2014

Hello!
I have MBP2014 with two OS: Mac OS and Win7 via BootCamp. Usually I work in MacOs, but sometimes I need to make some things in Window, and I want to hibernate MacOS (not close opened programs), reboot and boot up to Win. I read man about pmset and set up hibernation mode to 25 (pmset -a hibernation 25), but when I close lid or select sleep via main menu - notebook goes to ordinary sleep.
Also I try 2 utilities: Smartsleep and Hibernate. There are not working properly: both utilities put notebook only to "hot" sleep.
How can I make force hibernate this laptop for my task?
P.S. I don't check, what happened, when my battery emptied in sleep - I use it every day near sockets))

If you wish to be able to readily switch between Windows and OS X, then get rid of Boot Camp and using a virtual machine such as Parallels for Mac, VM Fusion, or Virtual Box.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • GPO to disable hibernation on Windows 7 not working

    We have set a power plan for Windows 7 with sleep and hibernate after set to "0."
    This works to the extent that the machines stay running online all day and never sleep or hibernate automatically.
    However, hibernation is not truly disabled because the hibernate file of several gigs remains and even if we run the command powercfg /h off, it deletes the file for a moment, but the file is recreated within seconds.  We cannot remove the file permanently.
    The shutdown menu still shows the sleep and hibernation options even though the machines never hibernate based on a time limit.
    How can we disable hibernate in a way so the hiberfil.sys file goes away permanently and the workstation cannot hibernate at all?
    Everywhere I find in a web search says run the command powercfg -h off or powercfg,.exe /h off and that is not the solution for is because the hibernation file comes right back.  That command is not a permanent solution.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, some service or program can turn hibernation back on even if we disable it by deleting the hiberfil.sys file.
    To find out what causes hibernation back on, we can do a clean boot. The following steps are from an answer to the identical question and can be referred to for reference.
    To find out what causes hibernation back on:
    1. Start msconfig.exe
    2. On the general tab select "Selective startup" and uncheck "Load startup items".
    3. On the services tab unselect all first.
    4. Run the command "powercfg -h off" to turn off hibernation.
    5. Reboot
    6. If hibernation is still deactivated start msconfig.exe again and activate half of the services.
    7. Repeat 5 and 6 until you find the service causing hibernation to be turned back on (don't forget to do step 4 if it is activated again).
    Regarding this point, the following threads can be referred to for more information.

  • MBP (13-inch, early 2011) goes into hibernation instead of safe sleep upon closing the lid (only when using battery power)

    MBP details
    13-inch MacBook Pro, early 2011 (model identifier: MacBookPro8,1)
    Running Yosemite, OS X 10.10.1 (however, problem started while using Mavericks)
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB memory
    Symptoms
    * the MBP goes into hibernation instead of sleep upon closing the lid on battery power (i.e.,  when AC adapter is NOT connected)
      -- problem does not occur when AC adapter is connected
    * putting the computer to sleep by other means does not induce the problem; these other means include:
      -- [i] option+command+Power,
      -- [ii] Apple Icon --> Sleep,
      -- [iii] in Terminal: pmset sleepnow
    * the battery is NOT getting drained at all; if I close the lid on 87%, the battery is still at about 87% when I get the MBP back up and running
    To be as clear as possible:
    (1) MBP is on and in use  (power source: battery); battery is at X%
    (2) the lid is then closed
    (3) the battery indicator light glows bright for about 10 seconds, then shuts off, and with it so does the MBP (all fans and sounds cease)
    (4) opening the lid and pressing any key on the keyboard does nothing (the computer is not sleeping)
    (5) to turn the MBP back on, I must hit the power button once; this brings up  and the gray screen and loading bar indicative of returning from hibernation
    (6) log in; battery is still at X%
    Attempted Solutions / Fixes
    There are Apple Discussions addressing similar MBP issues, many of which at least have work-arounds, if not full-blown solutions. However, I have tried many of the proposed work-arounds and solutions; nothing has solved my problem. Such attempted solutions include:
      * made sure EFI/SMC firmware was up to date
      * updated all software
      * logged in as a different user
      * booted in Safe Mode
      * reset the PRAM
      * repaired disk permissions using Disk Utility
      * repaired additional disk permissions in recovery mode (a la this chron.com advice)
      * ran the Apple Hardware Test multiple times (short test while plugged in, short test on battery, extended test while plugged in, extended test on battery)
      * booted from an external known-good OS on USB drive
      * reseated the RAM
      * used MemTest to test the RAM's health (it was good)
      * tested my battery's health with the app Battery Health (it is healthy!)
      * booted my computer with one stick of the MBP's original RAM at a time (figured "why not?")
      * booted my computer using other sticks of RAM
      * checked my power management settings using PMSET in the terminal (e.g., pmset -g); tried various hibernation modes (e.g., sudo pmset -a hibernationmode X, where X=0,1,3, etc)
      * searched/grepped through my power management logs and Console messages to look for googleable items (e.g., pmset -g log | grep WORD, where WORD=failure, sleep, etc);  still have not found help online
      * brought the MBP to a Mac Genius
    -- he ran some further tests, but found nothing;
    -- he re-installed my OS as a hopeful-hail-mary-just-maybe-last-ditch effort; the problem persisted!
    -- we both agreed that we had ruled out a software cause
    -- he offered me to leave my MBP to get fixed for a flat fee of $300.00 (which after a couple weeks of trying to figure this out is starting to sound more and more reasonable)
    Given that it is likely not a software issue, what hardware might it be? By booting from an OS on an external drive, I think I've ruled out a bad hard drive or hard drive cable. Also, given that inducing sleep in any way other than closing the MBP's lid does not cause the problem, it seems there might be a wire (or something) in the hinge section of the MBP that gets moved when the lid is closed possibly causing some kind of short circuit...or something.
    If someone with more experience interpreting Console messages, for example, can help, I'd be happy to provide some logs, or any additional information.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Ok, this is a crazy-simple, quasi-embarrassing fix, but I'll post it anyway just in case anyone is having a similar problem (for example, this guy: Changes to pmset being ignored).
    Some time around late last August / early September (2014) this issue began happening for me (specifically, issue = closing lid while on battery power induces hibernation / shut down instead of sleep --- independent of hibernation mode). Maybe it was when I upgraded to Yosemite (not sure what the exact date of that was). As detailed in my original post, I frantically tried everything I could think of... At that time, however, I had quite a few presentations and posters to create and present at meetings and conferences, so I held off fixing it for a couple of months and returned to it this past week, where I tried a few more things listed above, but again to no avail...
    This morning, I simply tried fudging around with all my power management settings again (via pmset in Terminal). The simplicity of the fix surprised me. But now that I understand it, I know it is likely the same fix for other threads I've read, such as the one above:
                                        (TLDR in bold)
    (1) Take note of your power management settings (Terminal:  pmset -g custom)
    (2) Is the "standby" flag set to 0? If so, set it to 1. Wa-la! Done.
    This fix is crazy and embarrassing b/c I was so close to it for so long. I tried changing my hibernation modes multiple times (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X, where X=0,1,3,25,etc). I read about manipulating other PMSET settings that helped other people with newer MBPs, like "autopoweroff" and "autopoweroffdelay" --- settings that I do not have on the MBP early 2011 (check your settings: pmset -g cap). And most amazingly of all, I even messed with the "standbydelay" setting, trying to make it so long that my computer should never go into hibernation... Yet, from what I can tell by looking over my notes, I never simply set "standby" from 0 to 1.
    There are interesting questions that arise due to this fix. For example, why did this problem persist on clean installs of OS Yosemite? Is "standby" being set to 0 the Yosemite default? I'm not sure. If it is, then Kappy was right: this was normal behavior... It just wasn't always the normal behavior...at least not for my MBP. Normal behavior (hibernatemode 3) used to be (and now is again) that the MBP goes into safe sleep, and then only after an allotted amount of time will it go into full-blown hibernation.
    NOTE: the "standby" and "standbydelay" PMSET settings are not available in some earlier MBP models (e.g., my brother has a 2010 and does not have these settings); so if you're having a similar problem with an earlier model, this fix might not be of any help to you.

  • Jabber For Windows - Available Status on Hibernation

    We're running Jabber for Windows 9.1.1 ansd see an issue which I think is casued by hiberantion.
    A laptop user will be at their pc and and Available, then on leaving their desk, they would typically just close their pc lid, hibernating the pc,  and leave the building.
    Their status stays as Available, when of course thay are not. I understand that CUP has not received a specific state change event to update their status, but does any one know if their is a timeout/keepalive that would eventually indicate the user is offline?
    I've not had chance test this in detail yet, I've just noticed it a few times when users near me are no longer at their desk, but still show as available.
    Has anyone out there come across this? Or do I need to be telling our users they should sign out of Jabber before hibernating their pc's?
    Regards
    Kelvin

    Hi  All,
    We have also been suffering from this issue ( I supect) - Running 9.1.2 client but it is also in 9.1.1.  Same CUPS 8.6 version etc.
    Closing my PC lid  - PC Asleep
    I can been seen as Away from another PC.
    Opening my PC lid - I am still seen Away - both on my own jabber and a watcher client. I haven’t logged out and my status does not change even when I am back on the keyboard etc.
    I can change it manually and then its appears correct both on my PC and the other PC.
    Or
    If I log out of jabber and back in – the correct status is shown both locally and remotely.
    This appears confusing to the end user who thinks presence isn't working correctly. we have a number of jabebr users that move between locations for meetings and hence often just close thier PC lid and move locations. FYI - this also happens within the same site.
    can you advise if there is a TAC case and if so if we can get an update ?
    thanks
    Russ

  • How do I stop my MacBook Pro from hibernating?

    I purchase my first MacBook Pro (late 2011 model) a few months ago. I Installed OS X Mountain Lion and everything was working fine. I could close the lid, and open it again, perhaps half a day later, and it would wake from sleep and allow me to enter my password.
    Now, in the past month (perhaps due to software updates), the behaviour has changed. Now, it goes in to hibernation when the lid is shut for more than a few hours. Upon waking from hibernation it takes a good 30 seconds or more before the clock updates and I can enter my password.
    I have been in to System Preferences -> Energy Saver, and changed the settings to never enter display sleep or computer sleep, and I have disabled putting hard disks to sleep when possible. I have also used the pmset utility to set the timeout for hibernation to start to 2 days. I have tried reseting the PRAM and the SMC.
    None of this has worked.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know a way I can stop my MacBook Pro from hibernating so often?
    Just to clarify: Everything mentioned above has been when it is plugged in to the wall charger.

    It just loads them it doesn't download them. So quit iPhoto.

  • Occasional hang up of IE and hibernation on Satellite A100

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite A100 with Windows Vista. It works fine, but I have two problems:
    -Sometimes Internet Explorer hangs up, often making the whole system "freeze".
    -The system does not recover properly from hibernation. It seems to re-initiate activity but then the start screen showing the Toshiba logo appears, as when switching on the computer.
    Then, a blue screen shows a fast message reporting some error or problem (sorry, the text flows and disappears too fast for me to read it) and I get a message asking whether I want to solve the problem that led to an abnormal shut up by starting in safe mode or start Windows normally.
    Can anyone help? I will appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance.
    P.S. My apologies for my English...)

    Hi there,
    just some suggestions, maybe no the whole resolution but helpful:
    Regarding your IE-Problem
    1. Make all updates you can get (Windows, 3rd party software, etc...)
    2. Install a Anti-Virus Program if not already did (a good one is Avira Anti-virus and its *tadaaaa* Freee!)
    3. Use Mozilla Firefox instead of M$-Internet Explorer, its faster, not so buggy and there are PLENTY of free plugins for it :)
    Regarding your hibernation problem:
    1. Update your bios to the latest available version.
    2. To read the bluescreen, do the following:
    Right-Click on "My Computer", then Left-click on the tab "Advanced", then on settings in the section "Startup & Recovery", then uncheck the box "Automatically restart" under "System failure" and now youre able to read whats described in the BSOD (Blue-screen-of-Dea**)
    Thats all what I can tell you

  • With Firefox 22, whenever I turn on computer after hibernation Firefox crashes. Why and how do I fix this? I cannot find this exact problem on your site.

    When I am done with my computer I close the lid which sends it into hibernation. Usually I have 2-3 windows open with 3-10 tabs each. There has never been a problem until I upgraded to version 22. Now whenever I start the computer the windows will come up but the cursor cannot open or change anything. The task manager actually says the program is running, but it remains completely inaccesible until I completely restart, and then have to restore previous session.
    I tried a system restore to the version 21, but it did not correct the problem. It still hangs up everytime. I am having to go to the Chrome browser to get a working browser. I just did as this site suggested and went to the default. Did not help either.
    My OS is Windows 7 if that matters.

    Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
    Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
    Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
    Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
    The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

  • Sleep and hibernation is working on Server 2012 with started hypervisor! I do not know why...

    Hi,
    I enabled Hyper-V role in the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 on testing computer (PC with i7 CPU and 16GB RAM). I found very strange behavior. The sleep mode was enabled and after command “powercfg /hibernation on” the hibernation is also working.
    I tested sleep (S3) and hibernation with started hypervisor and with running virtual machine. I tested sleep and hibernation triggered by power button and even with time-out that was set in the Power Options (I set sleep after 1 minute and
    later hibernate after 1 minute and wait).
    Sleep and hibernation is working! I do not understand why. Sleep and hibernation should be functional only on Client Hyper-V on Windows 8 and not on the Server 2012.
    Some examples:
    Testing workstation (i7, 16GB RAM) with Server 2012 and with started hypervisor:

    Hi Ben,
    I have nearly exactly the same Problem as Relef Revil.
    I have Lenovo T510 Notebook with Core I7 and a Lenovo T420 Notebook with a CoreI5.
    On my T510 S3 Sleep works perfectly with Hyper-V Role. On my T420 Sleep is disabled due to Hypervisor.
    If I uninstall Hyper-V Role then Sleep works again as expected.
    So, from a Little simple perspective, I Looks like this is a Hyper-V Thing or Problem.
    I have als updated to the latest BIOS and latest Intel HD Graphics 3000 Drivers on this Win 2012R2 Maschine.
    Also I have installed all possbile latest Versions of all other devices.
    Could you probably give me an idea where to search for a solution.
    So, what is the logic why Hyper-V disables sleep, when Sleep worked before?
    I assumed that Hyper-V and Sleep ist generally possible on Win2012R2, especially when Sleep works perfectly when Hyper-V Role is not installed.
    Kind Regards

  • I am having an issue waking my late 2007 MBP from hibernation after update to 10.8

    I am having an issue waking my late 2007 MBP from hibernation after I updated to OSX 10.8 Mountain lion. Anything I can do to fix this? I cannot keep doing a hard reset.

    for people with this problem in the future. I ended up solving this by taking out and reinserting the RAM. I had previously bought RAM from crucial.com and I thought it may have been a compatibility issue with that. After taking out the RAM and reinserting I have not had the problem. Be sure to insert the RAM with force, almost to the point it hurts. I think the problem for the MAC not waking from sleep was due to the RAM not properly inserted or being jarred out over time and not related to the instal of 10.8. also, if you are no longer under applecare and you call apple with an issue you get retards.
    cool. thanks. <3

  • How can I delay my MBP from hibernating until the lid has been closed for a set period of time?

    After extensive research, I have been unable to solve this problem and I'm hoping someone can explain this to me.   Everytime I close the lid on my 13-inch, Early 2011 Macbook Pro, it immediately starts to write to disk (solid light on the front) for several seconds until it finally goes into Hibernate mode (flashing light on the front).  The problem is, I frequently close the lid, then immediately reopen it within 15-30 seconds to resume typing or to add something I may have forgotten.   Each time I reopen the lid before the light has started flashing, the MBP wakes for a moment, and allows me to resume typing.  However, the Hibernation process has already begun and within 30 seconds, the screen goes blank.   I have to wake it AGAIN, which is very annoying.
    Based on my research, I could use pmset to change the hibernatemode to 0 (it is currently set at 3).   However, I dont wish to disable hibernate mode completely; I DO want it to save a hibernation image to disk if it happens to run out of battery, so that when I resume I havent lost anything.   
    I then researched using standby and standbydelay to attempt a delay of the write to disk when going into standby mode.   According to the pmset manual:
    standby causes kernel power management to automatically hibernate a machine after it has slept for a
         specified time period. This saves power while asleep
    standbydelay specifies the delay, in seconds, before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering
         off memory for Standby
    I then set these values as below, expecting the laptop to wait 4200 seconds (70 minutes) before trying to write to disk when I close the lid:
    standbydelay         4200
    standby              1
    Unfortunately, that did not work either.   If I close the lid, the light glows solid immediately (indicating it is writing to disk), and if I try to reopen the lid before it is done, it will wake and seem fine, then 30 seconds later it goes blank right in the middle of me typing something.   I usually have to click the mouse several times, or even the power button to re-wake it.  
    I do have InsomniaX installed, for when I want to close the lid and keep the machine awake permanently (while watching videos on airplay) and I have tried quitting that application to test this.  However, when I close/reopen the lid..the result is the same.   I cant keep InsomniaX enabled all the time, because it will never go to sleep when I truly want it to.   If I am not using InsomniaX, I just want to delay hibernation until he lid has been closed for a set period (say 15 minutes or more).  If I have not reopened the lid within that time, I want it to write to disk and go into hibernation mode.  And if the battery runs all the way out, I want it to go into hibernation mode before shutting down so I can recover.
    I would appreciate any help in solving this problem.  Also any insight as to why the standbydelay setting above did not work.   Thanks!

    Whats with the MBP lid? Dont close it ... if you're so concerned! Just go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and set it to how you like it.

  • [SOLVED] Hibernation no longer working

    When booting, one of the first things to come up is,
    ERROR: resume: no device specified for hibernation
    Then it recovers the journal and continues booting.
    If I recall correctly I had to add the resume hook when using mkinitcpio. Hibernate was working fine ever since I configured everything, but recently it has been not resuming correctly.
    Is there a log to find the information displayed during booting, so I can paste it here?
    Any ideas of how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Kopkins

    Yes, your boot log should be located in
    /var/logs/boot
    If not you may find the destination by searching with find
    find / -name="boot"
    I would check but on my works Win7 comp. Inside /var/logs/ there will also be other logs that might be relevant, for sure there is a suspend log maybe a hibernation one.

  • Satellite L30-PSL33 does not turn on from hibernation

    Hello,
    as i mentioned in my previous post i also have a problem with hibernation.The thing is that when i leave it to hibernate and turn it on later sometimes it doesn't load Windows-the loading bar reaches its end and then it stops "thinking" so i have to shut it down and start it ...
    The OS is Win Xp Pro SP2 on Toshiba Satellite L30-PSL33.For example it loads Windows from hibernation 2 or 3 times and then after that it won't load the OS.
    Please give me an advice how to fix that..
    Thank you

    Its not easy to say whats could be wrong because as you said this issue happens sometimes and therefore its not easy to replicate this fault.
    Im an owner of a Sat L30. I use the Vista on my L30 and did not receive any similar problems.
    I talked to some people and read also on some computer websites that this error could be software related.
    One question; what OS was preinstalled on this notebook; XP or Vista?
    Maybe you have to update the OS on your notebook to the latest state.

  • Windows 8.1 not connecting to DirectAccess after coming out of hibernation

    Have a strange issue with Windows 8.1 and DirectAccess on Server 2012. Initially after performing a clean install of Windows 8.1 my directaccess connection was working fine, even after coming out of hibernation, it would reconnect to directaccess with no
    issues. Yesterday after applying Windows updates and rebooting my Windows 8.1 would connect to DirectAccess fine. If I hibernate and come out of hibernation my DirectAccess status is stuck on Connecting and only connects if I reboot.
    I performed a system restore as of last week and my DirectAccess connection is back to working as expected. So it seems a particular windows update is causing this issue. Anyone knows which one in particular?

    Hi There - nothing specific that i know of but have all the Hotfixes been applied to both server and 8.1 clients (which may fix the issue)

  • Windows 8.1 desktop PC not starting after hibernation

    Hi,
    I have a PC that is not starting after hibernation. There are different errors appearing after my tries to repair the boot. I have tried to find a document online describing the boot process but I can't find any. I know how it worked in the old days with boot.ini
    and such but this new one is hard to figure out without a desciption.
    First I tried to use the automatic repair process but that didn't work. I have also tried bootrec, bootedit, and bcdboot.
    I then bought the Easy Recovery Essentials from NeoSmart Technologies but that didn't help to fix the issue, PC still boots to error 1. below. I tried the following process that they suggested:
    I have followed the instructions on this link http://j.mp/BcdRepair that they suggested but it didn't help. Instead of the two errors I have come across (PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and error code 0xc000000f on file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD via F8, both with
    white text on blue background), I got to a black page with grayish text telling me the following:
    Windows Boot Manager
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc [...]
    2. Choose your language [...]
    3. Click "Repair your computer."
    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
    It looks like one boot entry gets added to the boot menu every time the PC runs the automatic repair process. In the boot menu I now have more than ten occurrences of Windows Boot Manager.
    Errors:
    1. Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart [...] you can search online later for this error: PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
    2. Manual boot to one of the Windows Boot Manager entries that appears via F8 gives me the error code 0xc000000f on file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.
    I even tried to copy the BCD from an exactly identical PC but then the path to the BCD disappeared and I'm not sure what drive letter to enter in bcdedit because C: is not C: but X: when booted into Advanced resque mode.
    I could just reinstall Windows 8.1 but it feels frustrating, all the files are there. I just need to fix the boot.
    Sorry if this post is a bit of messed up, that's about how I feel right now... :)
    Does anyone have any suggestions and/or can point me in the direction of a nice document describing how the boot process works, where the BCD is located (I have several on the PC) I would be very happy.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, in my opinion, it seems like not bcd file problem. It's PC itself problem, maybe a hardware problem, also can be system componments corrupt.
    Can this PC startup successfully if you choose reboot or shutdown PC? Or this problem just occures after resume system from hibernate?
    For Windows boot process knowledge, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details:

    For your problem, in my opinion, it would be better to use System installation to fix this system file for test.

  • Wake from Sleep to go into Hibernation is not working

    I have a user that has a T400s running windows 7 pro. I do not have any issues with the computer going to sleep or hibernation or resuming from either. The issue is when the user either puts the laptop to sleep or if he lets it go to sleep (by default at 7% battery remaining), the computer never wakes from sleep to go into hibernation (by default at 5% battery remaining) to do a clean save of the environment to the hibernation file and power off the system. I have other laptops that I setup this way and it works no problem. The user is able to just let the computer hibernate or put it in hibernate manually to get around this, but sleep is a much preferred option due to the speed in which it will resume from sleep.
    I have updated the Power Management driver to Thinkpad PM Driver 1.60.0.4. The BIOS was updated to version 1.13 and I set the BIOS power settings to "Timer Wake with Battery Operation = Enabled". I also installed the Power Manager 3.12.
    I contacted Lenovo support and told them what I have done and they said that it should work, and they asked me to run diagnostics using the Toolbox and if that came up clean then to reformat the machine (this is a brand new setup) so I received no help there.
    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

    No. You cannot disable the slide to unlock feature. You can set the iPad to never sleep, but you can't disable slide to unlock.
