Initiating and exiting Hibernation
The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after 1,080 minutes of inactivity when running on
battery power or when the battery reaches a critical battery level.
NOTE: The system will not initiate Hibernation when running on external power.

your Windows password before your work will return to the screen.
