That's the correct method if you want the file to be removed as well. Turning off hibernation via the gui does not remove the file.

"powercfg -h off" For grins, every time I run this I actually have Explorer open to the location of the hiberfil.sys file and watch it disappear. This is just a guess, but is hibernation configured in the active plan found in the Control Panel Power Options applet?

Does anybody have any ideas? It's not a DC, I've tried deleting it in Safe Mode, unsuccessfully. andrew 2009/11/3 Christopher Bodnar <christopher_bod...@glic.com<mailto:christopher_bod...@glic.com>> Neither did we. From what I am seeing here, it seems to be enabled by default.

For us that's a lot of virtual machines. Easy to remediate, but never knew it was even there. Has anyone tested to see if this settings is persistent after Sysprep? Or does it need to be run again, after brining down an image.
