Hybrid sleep
– Hybrid sleep is designed primarily for desktop
computers. Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep and hibernate it
puts any open documents and programs in memory and on your hard
disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state so that you
can quickly resume your work. That way, if a power failure occurs,
Windows can restore your work from your hard disk. When hybrid
sleep is turned on, putting your computer into sleep automatically puts
your computer into hybrid sleep. Hybrid sleep is typically turned on by
default on desktop computers.
