How to remove Sleep (and disable it) and add Hibernate to the Windows 11 Start menu power options using Powershell?

crypticlulu · Sep 17, 2022

Using Powershell (or registry), how can I remove Sleep option from Start menu's power option (and disable it system wide) and add Hibernate there?

so far I've managed to do this:

Enabled hibernate:
powercfg /hibernate on

Hid the Sleep option:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Start\HideSleep
"value" = 1

When I try the same registry tweak for hibernate, it doesn't work:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Start\HideHibernate
"value" = 0

So hibernate was enabled yet did not get added automatically to the Start menu, Power choices?
- Does this command confirm that Hibernate is enabled? PowerCfg -a
- Does hibernation actually work? You could use the command C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /h

Perhaps you could ask if it's possible in

One of the first things I do, on any new install, is Disable Hibernate. I don't want that monstrous Hiberfil.sys, file eating up space on my hard drive.
And, too many PC's have gone into Hibernate and never came back out again.
