Different Ways to Hibernate Computer in Windows 11
Sleep mode and hibernate are both similar. Sleep mode puts your system in sleep when you are away or not working in the system. All the files and applications you were working on are saved in the RAM. But when in hibernate mode, the files are saved in the hard drive as a “Hiberfil. sys” file. By this method, even when the battery runs out, your work is being preserved in the RAM.
