see in this post - Works on Windows 10 Creators Update, Windows 10
Anniversary Update, and other editions of Windows like Windows 10 earlier builds like Aug 2015

In our last post, we had seen how to enable hibernate mode in windows 10, but it is best practice to
turn off hibernate mode when you are on low disk space..
What happens on hibernation ??
The process involved in hibernation is very vast, but i can explain in some simple words..
When we click hibernate our PC will save the current state of the process running on the device into
a system file called hiberfile.sys which will occupy a large amount of space when we perform
hibernation randomly. we can delete the file by using disk clean up many of us who are beginners
are still unaware of the dangerous side of this hibernation that happens in low end PC's.So its better
to turn it off in Windows 10 when you have low disk space.
But, how?? You will only perform hibernation when you know the right step right? So, here i had
decided to show the way that will hide the hibernation mode which can also be done using
powershell and command prompt...
Let's see how it can be done..
Just follow the below steps..
1) Open Control Panel.
