Windows Hibernation is a power option in the Windows 11 operating system that allows the computer to enter a low power consumption mode while all open programs and files are saved. In this mode, the computer's state is written to the hard drive and the computer is turned off. When you turn on the computer later, it will be restored to its previous state, which is very convenient, and you can continue exactly where you left off.
Please note, however, that not all computers support hibernation, and on some systems it may be necessary to adjust additional drivers or settings for hibernation to work properly.
