Initiating and exiting Hibernation
The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after a period of inactivity when running on

Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel.
To initiate Hibernation:

Tap Start, tap the arrow next to the Shut down button, and then tap Hibernate.

your Windows password before your work returns to the screen.
