Can`t enable Hibernation! - Regedit/POWERCFG not helping!

Calling all windows 10 experts! I need your help!

Just updated my Transformer T100HA to the Anniversary update. In order to get enough disk space to perform the update, I disabled hibernation with POWERCFG /h off from the command line, which disabled hibernation, deleted the hibernate file and gave me enough space to upgrade.

Now I`m successfully on the anniversary update, I simply cannot get Hibernation to turn on again. Heres what I`ve tried to far,

Registry change (from this very foum) - tried both the .REG file and updating manually.
POWERCFG /h ON from and elevated command line
Full system restore/reset from settings

Still I cant see the option to hibernate in advanced power options!

When I look in power options the hibernation option is simply not there.

Really appreciate some help as I`ve run out of ideas. thanks!

• Go to: Control Panel - Power Options - Change Plan Settings - Change Advanced Power Settings.
• Choose, when you want to hibernate, eg. Power buttons and lid - Power button action - Hibernate.

When hiberfil.sys file is created on C partition, you will know, that you have succeeded.

Many thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately the hibernate option are not available to me in control panel - which is my problem!

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:


reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /v "HiberbootEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
powercfg -h on

I`ve tried the registry changes once before, but I`ll give this a try just in case, and I`ll let you know the result tonight. Thanks again for your help.

perhaps if room is that tight there simply is not enough room for powercfg -h On to create the File?

no joy.....BTW for referenceI have already done a cleanup of the drive after installing the anniversary update and have 14GB free.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /v "HiberbootEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -h on

C:\WINDOWS\system32>shutdown /h
The request is not supported.(50)

That is it, I have got a message 126, that hibernation is not enabled, but you have got 50, that it is not supported.

That means, that you are missing some drivers, most likely ACPI power management driver, maybe chipset as well.

Use Driver Easy Free to see, if it finds anything missing or outdated.

Got 16 outdated drivers, no missing drivers, nothing power realated as far as I can see. Heres a list of the drivers being listed as outdated::

Broadcomm Serial Bus Driver over UART Bus Enumerator
Intel SST Audio Device
Intel Dymanic Platfom and Thermal Framework Generic Particiant Driver
Intel Trusted Execution Engine Interface
Intel Integrated Sensor Solution
Intel HID Event Filter
HID Advanced Sensor Collection
HID Advanced Sensor Collection v2
Intel HD Graphics
HID PCI Minidriver for ISS (x6)
