The Biggest Library of Windows 7 Shortcuts

Totally understand your point. I've searched and tested like crazy for the last 2 hours and i've found no solution. It seems that the shortcut we provided (according to documentation from Microsoft) puts your computer into Hybrid Sleep mode directly which is very similar to Hibernate and you need to press the power button to resume it.

For whatever reason, you cannot put the computer into sleep mode from the command line if hibernation is enabled. So, if you want our shortcut to work as you want to, you need to disable hibernation first, which is not a recommended solution.

The only alternative i could find is to use a third-party tool. Download PsShutdown from here:

Then create a shortcut to psshutdown.exe and use the parameter "-d". When you run that shortcut it should go into normal sleep mode.

Hope this helps.
