Hi, I was wondering if I could enable Hibernation and use it on my Shadow once it’s activated? I do that on my local PC, and Shadow is a full featured Windows 10 PC, so it should work the same way, right?

Shadow will automatically shut down after 15-30 minutes of inactive use, there’s nothing we can do about that. You stop actively using it through the client and it shuts down.

I’m asking if I can enable and use Hibernation on the Shadow, not how to disable it shutting down.

Enabling hibernation (or changing other power settings) revert back if you do change, so they seem to be taking active steps to prevent it. Some group policy tools are missing as well. I don’t think it’s worth the effort to try and circumvent whatever they’re doing...it’d be swimming against the current.
Yes, any measure to circumvent the automatic shutdown won’t work, including hibernation.
As I said before, you stop actively using shadow and it shuts down and there’s nothing we can do about it.

That’s not circumventing shutdown. From what I know, Hibernation still turns the PC off, it just saves memory to storage first.
I guess it already kinda hibernates? IDK… All I know is stop using, it shuts off and we can’t change power settings.

Unfortunately, that is correct, you cant make Shadow hibernate anymore. Only Shutdown.

If you could before, why not now? I’m having trouble seeing why or if COVID-19 caused this.
Agree, wished to have hibernation as well. Not to prevent auto shutdown after inactivity, more to start I “left” Shadow before it shutdown to continue with whatever programs were open.
Would be just a nice feature.

The reported reason this was discontinued, was because VMs could potentially be resumed on dissimilar hardware, causing problems.

i agree this does prove problematic to having hibernate function on. its more then just Windows that doesn’t like sudden hardware changes a lot of games and programs act buggy too. it can even set off security/ anti cheat software. so in all its best to not have hibernate active.
