Question for the hive mind

What’s the difference on a OC between “hibernate” and “sleep?”  Because regardless of which one I use, when I turn the computer back on I get that “Windows did not shut down properly” white-on-black screen.

    Huh. Weird. Hibernate basically remembers what you had open, stores it away,...then shuts...
  3. shinkonokokoro said: Hibernate keeps all of your windows and programmes open, shutting the computer off while sleep keeps it ready to go? Lol, sleep always comes back up faster.
  4. birdie-on-the-wire said: Hibernate is when you are at your batteries lowest and it “goes into hibernation” To save whatever it was you were doing…. Sleep is when you haven’t touched it for so long that the screen goes black. I don’t know why it says that though…
  5. gooddogbestfriend said: Hibernate doesn’t use power; it saves the state of your computer and basically shuts down sort of. Sleep, on the other hand, pauses the computer - it uses energy, but much less than leaving it on. Hibernate takes longer to start back up.
  6. evil-sherlock-holmes said: hibernate should require you to press the power button to turn the comp back on, and sleep enables you to simply shift the mouse or press a key to turn it back on.
