When you hibernate a Microsoft Windows system, the contents of memory are written to a file, hiberfil.sys, in c:\. If a system has been hibernated, when you power it back on, the contents of hiberfil.sys are read from disk into memory, so bringing a system up from hibernate mode will take longer than bringing it back from sleep mode, which is a power saving mode where the system state is saved to memory.

To check if hibernate mode is available, you can issue the command powercfg /availablesleepstates at a command prompt. E.g., the following example shows the output of the command on a Microsoft Windows 8 system on which hibernate mode has been enabled.

C:\>powercfg /availablesleepstates
The following sleep states are available on this system:
    Standby (S3)
    Hibernate
    Hybrid Sleep
    Fast Startup

The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    Standby (S2)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    Standby (Connected)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

Since hibernate mode is enabled on the system, I can use shutdown /h at a command prompt on the system to hibernate he system, even though "hibernate" doesn't appear as one of the options when shutting down the system through the Windows GUI

The example below shows the output from the powercfg /availablesleepstates command issued on a Windows Server 2012 Essentials system after hibernate mode was enabled.

C:\>powercfg /availablesleepstates
The following sleep states are available on this system:
    Hibernate
    Fast Startup

The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
                Graphics

    Standby (S2)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
                Graphics

    Standby (S3)
        An internal system component has disabled this standby state.
                Graphics

    Standby (Connected)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    Hybrid Sleep
        Standby (S3) is not available.
