    Hello guys,

    Anyone like me, manually turn off the hibernate in win8 by using command prompt "pwrcfg -hibernate off"?

    I found that the factory default of XPS 13 is in a "semi-hibernate" mode while you power off the machine, however I want a clean "shutdown" to make sure all cold start and shutdown leave without any previous sessions data.

    I never bothered turning off hibernate. I just change my Power Options behavior settings to do other things when I close the lid or hit the power button.

    Yes, I know that I am using 8GB of SSD space by leaving hibernate enabled. But I am nowhere near hitting capacity on my SSD, and I get to keep the option to manually Hibernate (through Shutdown Menu) if I ever need to use it.

    Oh. Yes, I keep that off.

    I just do a full boot every time. Boot times are so fast on an SSD that waiting for a full boot is almost irrelevant.
