Some versions of windows do not support the Hibernate command. Although sometimes there exist a hibernate option, but it doesn't work or might do something else. I don't know if this is a bug or this might be configurable. BTW, for the time being, I recommend to avoid the hibernate option in any settings! Instead you can use standby... but be aware of the differences of the two modes!

I tried that, but every few times when I'd click hibernate it would restart rather than hibernate.

Brandon, I recommend you start using standby or hibernate mode before closing the cover.

Hello, I'm not sure what's going on: About 1 out of every 5 times I close my laptop it shuts down. I'm not sure if windows is installing an update or what, but it gets super super annoying, especially when I have 5 or 6 programs up at once and I need to restart them all. And because I'm in school I have to close my lap-top at least 5 times a day. This has always happened and I'm not sure how to fix it. I changed the option to hibernate when the lid gets shut rather than go to sleep, but that only decreased the shutting down from 1 every 3 times to 1 every 5 times and increased the time I need to wait for my computer to start up. I'm not sure if there is something that says it will shut down when I close my lid or what? Any help would be really appreciated!
