FC0-U61 · Question #323

Which of the following sleep modes is also known as Hibernation in Windows operating systems?

The correct answer is C. S4. In Windows operating systems, the S4 sleep state corresponds to the Hibernation mode, where the system context is saved to disk before power-off.

Why each option

In Windows operating systems, the S4 sleep state corresponds to the Hibernation mode, where the system context is saved to disk before power-off.

AS3

S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) is typically known as "Sleep" or "Standby" in Windows, where the system context is maintained in RAM, allowing for a quicker resume than hibernation.

BS2

S2 (Suspend-to-RAM, lower power) is a seldom-used ACPI state, typically superseded by S3, and is not known as Hibernation.

CS4Correct

S4 is the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) global system state that corresponds to Hibernation in Windows, where the system's volatile memory contents are saved to persistent storage (like the hard drive) before the computer is powered off completely, allowing for a full power-off state with resume capability.

DS1

S1 (Power on Suspend) is a low-power ACPI state where the CPU stops executing instructions but is still powered, and RAM contents are maintained, but it's not hibernation.
