A hibernated Windows To Go (WTG) workspace can only resume operation on the original host computer. To guarantee successful across different computers of Windows To Go workspaces, hibernation is disabled by default. This tutorial explains how to enable or disable hibernation in Windows To Go workspaces via Group Policy settings.
Tips: Hibernation is unavailable for Windows operating system running on VHD/VHDX due to Microsoft restriction. Therefore, Windows To Go workspaces deployed on VHD/VHDX cannot enable hibernation functionality.
Step 1. Boot Windows from the USB drive created using Hasleo WinToUSB.
Step 2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Windows Run dialog. Then type gpedit.msc and press Enter to open Local Group Policy Editor.
Step 3. In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate through the left pane to: Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Portable Operating System.
Step 4. In the right pane of Portable Operating System in Local Group Policy Editor, double-click the policy "Allow hibernate (S4) when starting from a Windows To Go workspace" to modify its settings. (see the screenshot above.)
Step 5. In the "Allow hibernate (S4) when starting from a Windows To Go workspace" dialog box, check the "Enable"/"Disable" checkbox to activate/deactivate hibernation support. Then click "OK" or "Apply" button to confirm the setting.
Following to the above steps, you can easily enable or disable hibernation in Windows To Go (WTG) workspaces.
