Hibernation mode
You can set O&O Defrag in the hibernation mode using the right-click menu of the Tray icon. This makes sense if you need the full capacity of your computer for your applications, and want to make sure that O&O Defrag is not in operation during this time. We recommend closing the user interface to save load on your main memory.
- To set O&O Defrag into hibernation mode, right-click the Tray icon and click Hibernation mode.
- To exit O&O Defrag’s hibernation mode, select Exit hibernation mode in the right-click menu of the Tray icon, and reopen the user interface if needed.
