Windows xp computer will not hibernate

The next instructions vary with your version of Windows:. XP: Click Start, then Run , type powercfg. Then click the Advanced tab.

In the Power buttons box, check if the two pull-down menus have Hibernate and Standby options. Vista and Windows 7: Click Start , type powercfg.

The VM is setup not to hibernate and to shutdown on close. As long as I open the VM and not use the published application it does shutdown when I close and does not go into hibernate. From what I've seen as long as I'm launching the full desktop everything works properly.

The problem only seems to presents itself when using the published apps. I've looked for a way to shutdown instead of hibernating when closing the published app but this does not seem to be possible.

The first thing you can try is to disable the integration features of Windows XP Mode and see if the application works properly. Some applications seem to experience a certain degree of trouble when working in conjunction with the integration features of Windows XP Mode enabled.

However, for your convenience, I have outlined the steps for this below:. App-V transforms applications into centrally managed services that are never installed and do not conflict with other applications. To learn more about Microsoft Application Virtualization, please see the following Microsoft resource found here. I have disabled both integration features and set the VM to turn off rather than hibernate.

Again, as long as I am using the full VM rather than the seamless app the machine does shutdown as expected when closing the vm window. However using the app seamlessly results in the VM going into hibernate when the app is closed.

It appears the close settings for the "full" VM do not have an effect on the seamless apps. I need the VM to either wakeup from hibernate, never hibernate or shutdown when closing out of a seamless app. I will try the below script linked in your response above as this seems to specifically reference published apps. Echo "Considering default VM. Doesn't do anything.

What's going on; is nobody monitoring this forum to make sure only things related to XP are posted here? Joined Feb 27, Messages DKTaber said:. Hi DK! I think I may have found a place for you to look for additional information for your particular issue with hibernation.

Hope you find your answer! Joined Sep 24, Messages 78, How much space is free on your HD? I fooled with the Power Options and now the computer hibernates. Not sure what did it, but if I had to guess, it was unchecking "Enable hibernation", which deletes the hiberfil. Thanks 2BInformed and valis for your help. I will mark the thread as 'solved'.

My bad, I should have suggested that When the computer exits standby mode, it returns to the same operating state it was in before entering standby mode. Hibernate Mode Hibernate mode conserves power by copying system data to a reserved area on the hard drive and then completely turning off the computer. When the computer exits hibernate mode, it returns to the same operating state it was in before entering hibernate mode.

Now, as per Webopedia : An energy-saving mode of operation in which all unnecessary components are shut down. Many battery-operated devices, such as notebook computers, support a sleep mode. When a notebook computer goes into sleep mode, it shuts down the display screen and disk drive.

Once awakened, the computer returns to its former operating status. Better research would work wonders!!! Posted 06 October - PM. I see your point; of course I knew the post was 18 moths old, I mentioned it. I've used only notebooks so far; where the stanby mode is quite different from the sleep mode or hibernate mode which for notebooks is in fact the same. Reply to quoted posts Clear.
