I have installed Windows 7 two days ago.
Why is there no hibernation mode in my licensed Windows 7 Ultimate?
I have tried using these commands to enable it, but they didn't work:
powercfg -h on
powercfg -hibernate on
What could be the problem? On Windows XP, I was able to hibernate.
Things I've checked:
- I've looked under the arrow next to Shutdown, it's not there.
- I have executed the above commands with admin privileges.
- I have installed the latest drivers.
Edit
Hybrid Sleep was enabled, after I disabled it, the Hibernation mode button appiered.

Yes, Hybrid Sleep is most likely causing this, see the second FAQ. Disable it by turning it's setting to Off.
