telling the computer to hibernate when you already have preventshibernate from working

telling the computer to hibernate when you already have preventshibernate from working

 

Sometimes, I'll hit the hibernate item from the drop down menu in the

Task Manager and a few minutes later (ie. far longer than it normally

takes), I hit it again thinking maybe my first initial hitting of it

didn't get registered or something.

 

Only problem is... when I do this, it doesn't hibernate at all.

 

I do it because the computer doesn't hibernate within a few minutes.

I then do something that takes about twenty minutes, come back, and

find it hasn't hibernated at all. Maybe it never would have

hibernated in the first place, but, either way, it is kinda annoying,

and does leave me wondering if there's anything I can do about it or

just to speed hibernate up under these circumstances. I mean,

usually, it is faster, so why would it, at times, be slower?

You may have a program that is not shutting down, such as a virus scanning

program.

To find, in task manager find out what's running before clicking hibernate.

Then, shut that program down

and click hibernate. Repeat this method till running program is found.

Shut that program down? What's the point of hibernate if you have to

shut programs down? The reason I do hibernate in the first place is

so that I *don't* have to do that...

Try another method to hibernate. On my laptop i can hibernate it by closing

the lid, pressing the power button once, or by clicking Start\Turn Off

Computer and pressing the shift key will toggle Hibernate\Standby options.

 

By the way i also have been hibernating my computer for yers now

but have never done it via Task Manager. But i have never shutdown that way

either.

 

To hibernate my computer every night I use Shutter.exe. The

program automatically hibernates at whatever time you select. I don't have to

touch a thing.. Windows own rundll can also do this via a scheduled task

assuming your computer will hibernate. I use Shutter because Windows rundll

program interferes with my

wake-up task(it won't run).

Would stop or quiesce be a better term?
