That very much depends on your definition of "works".

Does the machine go through the steps to save memory to disk and enter a low power state? Yes.

But then windows can and does decide to wake itself up at any time, resulting in physical damage to the machine if it's stored in a closed bag. Discharging the battery and heating up the entire machine dramatically reduces your battery's lifetime. You cannot disable this behavior without going into the registry.

So yes, it 'works', with the caveat that the machine may wake itself at any time, burn through the entire battery and possibly do irreprable damage to your machine.

You haven't read my comment fully or are confusing hibernate with sleep. I was talking about hibernate which 100% works, not sleep. Hibernate can't wake up your laptop as your machine is completely powered off.

That is quite simply not true.

I have had windows wake itself up after I clicked the “hibernate” button in the start menu. It’s pretty infuriating.

Is that the case anymore with a battery and Intel ME? I don’t believe it is.
