Many people are familiarised with Windows 10’s Sleep Mode. Many people may not know that there is a hibernation mode on their computer.
Hibernation is an intermediate mode between turning off your computer or sleeping. It allows you to switch off your computer immediately and then resume work. All your apps will still open the same way they did before you turned it off. Your computer will not even require power.
