Sleep and hibernate command line

How to do them without breaking something?

Sleep in my computers are hybrid (desktop) and not hybrid (laptop).

Quick boot is off.

I wonder the right command lines (cmd) to sleep and hibernate.

I see that reboot or shutdown are clear commands but for them there are many version and i ask the right way.

A laptop can be set to hibernate or sleep when you close the lid. The usual way to hibernate or sleep for a desktop is from the power button on the Start menu. If those options do not appear, you can add them.

Add or Remove Hibernate from Power menu in Windows 10
Add or Remove Sleep in Power menu in Windows 10

for hibernate to be available it needs to be enabled.
Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 10

In admin cmd (or System32 cmd), you type in:

Code:

powercfg /h on

this means that the power configuration for hibernate switches to on.

Then, you can just type in any cmd mode

Code:

shutdown/h /t 0

for it to hibernate instantly or, otherwise,

Code:

shutdown/h

for it to set a hibernate mode within 30 seconds of the command being introduced.

as an alternative for the second and third command lines, you can then head for "C:\Windows\System32" and search the file "shutdown.exe". Generate a copy of it wherever you want, I'd advice "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" for future accessibility. Then Open the "Properties" windows after right-clicking the file.
Edit its route from "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" to "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /h /t 0" for instant hibernate, or "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /h" for 30 second delay before hibernate.

hope it helps

Hello,

About shutdowb /h i see around other ways to hibernate so i can be sure it will only go to hibernate my pc without touching else?

About sleep, i looking for a command for sleep (in cmd).

I am afraid also here that a command line could change something about the sleep (ie some pc has standard sleep, other has hybrid sleep).

Why do you need a command to sleep, if I may ask?

Click on Start, click on power icon, click on sleep. You can also access by ALT + F4 menu.

Here is a complete list of shutdown commands.

Shutdown /h is a command. What settings are you thinking it would change?

I have quick boot disabled so i am afraid that it will enable it or else.

Btw i will try it.

For sleep i will try the tool.
