    Is it possible to automate CLEARING of the Hiberfile.sys - in similar manner.

    I used to manually Disable, Delete and Enable PageFile for CLEARING.

    This way I can automate its fresh every reboot.

    Can we do same for Hiberfile.sys at Shutdown and Restart - Except when Hibernation was used. So I dont have to disable enable it for a Hiberfile.sys Flush/ Refresh?

    The hiberfil.sys is required for the Fast Startup and Hibernate feature.

    I'm not aware of a way to clear hiberfil.sys without disable/enable hibernate. I suppose you could create an elevated task in Task Schedular to do this at sign in.
