How can I stop Windows 7 creating a hiberfil.sys on my C: drive?

September 13, 2011 by Wayne Small 3 Comments

I was running low on disk space on my desktop today and was searching for things I could move or delete just to get me out of a trouble for the rest of the day.  I found that Windows automatically created this as part of my power settings even though I don’t use Hibernate.  Some further digging found this Microsoft KB article that showed me how to disable it.

I ran the fix to disable it and the hiberfil.sys file was gone.  Love it Microsoft – nice and simple for sure.

    Disabling that also turns off hybrid sleep mode, which IMO is the coolest thing ever for a desktop PC.

    The recommendation is to clean your computer case a minimum of once per
    6 months. 99% of PC’s run XP – an influence of enterprise
    computers (corporate owned computers), often inflexible when it comes to both software
    and hardware upgrades. Program has self-explanatory interface and no
    technical skills is required to operate the program.

    The Verge reports that many folks found we were holding
    unable to use their Kinect camera to record game play footage, while some were barred by using the Xbox One Upload Studio at
    all. It seems like someone mashed together aspects of God of War, squad shooters, and also
    the “Oh my god it is all totally exploding and dying” atmosphere from the WWII
    shooter, and made a game out of it. Sony has
    been working difficult on its PS4, but will it be enough to outmatch the rival Microsoft has
    set up. You will get anywhere from 1 – 4 red rings plus my case 3
    red rings. To find Xbox 360 sale offers just requires homework about the
    internet or instore, and you will be positive to find
    the best possible price there is.
