Sleep is a state of low-power inactivity commonly found on many computers and peripherals today. See our Stand by definition for further information and related links on this term.
Stand ByStandby Alternatively referred to as sleep mode, Standby or Stand by is a mode the computer, monitor, or other device enters when idle for too long. This mode helps conserve power when a computer or computer device is not in use without having to sacrifice the time it would take to turn off and on the computer. When in Stand by, the computer or monitor has a solid or flashing amber (or other color) light, indicating that there is still power but the computer is in Standby mode.
I am not sure but I have read it somewhere that in Win 10 sleep function has been disabled. Can the senior members kindly throw some light on this issue? Just curious here. Thanks
The Sleep option isn't available ... or if a driver doesn't support it.
One of the changes related to power options in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 is that the Hibernate option is not available by default on the Power menu. In order to use this feature, you have to activate it manually. That's why, in this tutorial, we will share step-by-step information on how to enable the Hibernate option in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, so that it is displayed in the Power menu. Here's how it is done:
This is confirmed elsewhere. One of many links on this point:http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-add-hibernate-power-options-available-windows-8-81Another issue is correct drivers for the Video and other things.
again, this discussion is not about hibernation, it's about sleep.
Hibernate on Mac OS ("Safe Sleep") Apple calls Hibernation "Safe Sleep"... Apple doesn't see fit to let the user choose Safe Sleep on their computers. Safe Sleep happens on laptops only if it's sleeping and the battery level drops too low, and even then only on PowerBooks made after October 2005. You can override that behavior and get your Mac (laptop or desktop) to Safe Sleep immediately on demand with software like Deep Sleep, SmartSleep, or SuspendNow (or see the hacks at Mac Simple Life or MacWorld).
