How to Hibernate your Windows 8 PC/Tablet 

If you want to hibernate your PC in window 8 you might not able to do it as it was earlier like in windows 7. Because the hibernate option is not shown in the windows 8 menu. So this article is for people who want to do it frequently. 

1. Go to the notepad and type "shutdown /h". Note that there is a space between the word shutdown and the forward slash.
2. Then save the file as "Hibernate.bat" including the quotation marks.
   
3. That's it. Now you will have a file which can hibernate your PC.
   

That's it! Be sure to not to run this file accidentally since this batch script immediately works without user confirmation. 


Further Modification:

This simple file can be modified as follows to get the user permission before it hibernates the PC.

@echo off

setlocal

:PROMPT

SET /P AREYOUSURE=Are you sure want to Hibernate(Y/[N])?

IF /I "%AREYOUSURE%" NEQ "Y" GOTO END

shutdown /h

:END

endlocal

Then do the 2^nd and 3^rd steps as usual. These codes are called Batch Scripts and can be used to make things easier in windows.
