Notebooks also include an invisible button in the screen lid, so that closing the screen on the keyboard will activate the sleep function. In Windows, this can be configured to enter one of the "sleeping modes", i.e. "suspend to RAM" (with fast wake up by pressing any key) or "suspend to disk" (i.e. hibernation, where waking up will require ...
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is the current standard for power management, superseding APM (Advanced Power Management) and providing the backbone for sleep and hibernation on modern computers. Sleep mode corresponds to ACPI mode S3. When a non-ACPI device is plugged in, Windows will sometimes disable stand-by functionality ...

Windows 2000 is the first Windows to support hibernation at the operating system level (OS-controlled ACPI S4 sleep state) without special drivers from the hardware manufacturer. A hidden system file named " hiberfil.sys " in the root of the boot partition is used to store the contents of RAM when the computer hibernates.
The latter two display a menu with the currently selected input method highlighted, and debuted in Windows 8. ⊞ Win + ⇧ Shift + Space goes through the list backwards. For the first two shortcuts going backwards is done by using the right ⇧ Shift key instead of the left.
powercfg must be run from an elevated command prompt, and, under Windows XP, it requires workstation Administrator or power user rights. Power Schemes are configured on a per-user basis. The most common cause of problems with power saving and hibernation on Windows systems is an incompatible device driver.
