whether it good to do hibernate or shutdown the laptop everytime we compelete our work?

Answer 1

Hibernate or shutdown? Windows protections are the same either way

I'm a fan of using hibernation on my desktop PC and my notebook computers, mostly because a computer can almost always come back up out of hibernation far faster than it can reboot.
However, many people believe that shutting down is somehow better for a system than hibernating. Their argument seems to boil down to the idea that when the system is shut down, certain measures are taken to protect system settings that aren't extended to the system when you hibernate.

As far as I can tell, this is not entirely true, because many of the protections that Windows uses against system damage are not exclusively linked to shutdown or hibernation.

One such mechanism is System Restore. Every 24 hours, regardless of when the system was last powered on or off, the PC automatically creates a System Restore point. For instance, if you turn the computer off and turn it back on again more than a day later, a System Restore Point will be created; if you hibernate the computer and restore it more than a day later, a System Restore Point will likewise be created. As a further defense against system damage, the Registry is also backed up each time this happens.

Admins cite another reason for not using hibernation: Sometimes the computer doesn't come up out of hibernation due to a problem with the hibernation file. Their argument has some validity; I've had a hibernation file fail to come back up a few times on notebook computers (possibly due to a drive problem). But the only time it poses any real trouble is if you hibernate while you have completely unsaved work in progress and can't recover it later. An application that's set to auto-save its work every few minutes should help overcome this problem. (It's always best to save work before any suspend or hibernate operation anyway.)

In summary, almost all of the same system protections are extended to users whether they shut their computers off completely or simply hibernate them. The choice is yours.

Answer 2

.

Hibernation is one good option which would take you less time to sign off or get into your computer. But it should not be done again and again for more number of times. Coz when you are loading many applications or files, some files may get stagnant somewhere in the memory. When you hibernate again and again, the memory may not be as fast as it is capable of.

The moral is use Hibernation but also shutdown your computer once of 10 to 12 Hibernations so that your system gets refreshed and work with normal capability.

Hibernate is fine. I do it all the time. With XP I'd say reboot once a month. Hibernate just saves your ram to disk and picks up where you left off. From the perspective of the OS it is like pausing time.
