Hibernate On Off

Hibernate On Off is a small-sized and portable piece of software designed to help users disable the Windows hibernation function if they never resort to it, in order to free up some space on the hard disk.

The software utility does not contain any other options or configuration settings, so it can be used by anyone, even those with little or no previous experience in computer applications.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can put the executable file in any location on the hard disk and click it to run the app.

There is also the alternative of saving Hibernate On Off to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort, as long as it has .NET Framework installed.

What's worth taking into account is that the Windows registry does not receive new keys, and no additional files are created on the HDD, thus leaving no traces behind after deleting Hibernate On Off.

The interface consists of a small window which contains two buttons for turning off the hibernation function, as well as to restoring this setting to default. The "what you see is what you get" concept clearly applies to Hibernate On Off, as there are no other features provided by this tool.

We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation, since Hibernate On Off did not cause Windows to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It quickly applies a new setting and uses low CPU and RAM, so its impact on overall performance if minimal.

To conclude, Hibernate On Off offers the simplest method possible to turning off the hibernation function of Windows.
