Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hibernation is a means of avoiding the burden of saving unsaved data before shutting down and restoring all running programs and re-opening documents and browser tabs. Both hibernation and sleep preserve memory fragmentation and atrophy that lead to mobile devices working more poorly the longer you avoid a power off.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hibernate uses less power than sleep and when you start up the PC again, you’re back to where you left off (though not as fast as sleep). Use hibernation when you know that you won’t use your laptop or tablet for an extended period and won’t have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hibernate mode uses no power and it saves up all the procedures in the memory. The below-mentioned steps can be followed to active hibernate mode in Windows. First click on the ‘’Start” button. Then, click on ‘’Settings-> System-> Power & Sleep-> Additional Power Settings”.

Detailed explanation-4: -The computer uses the Hiberfil. sys file to store a copy of the system memory on the hard disk when the hybrid sleep setting is turned on. If this file is not present, the computer cannot hibernate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hibernate mode uses less power than sleep mode and is available for laptops. It takes a bit longer to resume than sleep mode does, but it will resume everything where you left off once the computer is powered back on. Use hibernate mode when you will not be using your computer for an extended time.
