The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.
Description¶
Hibernation is really meant for laptops as it saves what's in memory before turning the pc off. It really should never be used, but some people are lazy and rely on it. Don't be like Bob. Bob likes hibernation.

Registry Changes¶
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on Wikipedia and Microsoft's Website.
