Windows 10: how to re-enable the actual sleep function on your PC/Laptop. Not the crappy MS one that they can wake up on demand.
Control panel > Hardware and Sound > power options > system settings.
Change settings that are currently unavailable
Disable Sleep Enable Hibernate Save changes.
Optionally: change power button to Hibernate
From power options > Change when the computer Sleeps:
Put the computer to sleep: Never. Click on Change Advanced power plans Go down to and expand sleep.
Change the hibernate after setting.
It's worth noting that this only works if you have hardware that supports the correct form of sleep.
FFS JUST TURN IT OFF
Then Windows takes five minutes to start and another fifteen to become stable
USE AN SSD WHAT THE FUCK MAN IT'S 2025
But SSDs don't have the satisfying clicky grindy sounds
Enjoy your lost data 🤣
The clicking means it's working!
That was before windows start using React for a start menu.
