Question

I have a 64-bit Win7 Ultimate machine that I’m calling GetPwrCapabilities on. However it tells me that sleep state 4 (hibernation) is not available and that there is no hibernation file. I can hibernate the machine and there is a hibernation file. Am i doing something wrong? Is there anything else I can call to get accurate supported sleep states

Thanks

EDIT
It’s interesting that powercfg -AVAILABLESTATES provides the correct information. Does anyone know what API it calls or why there is a discrepency

Answer 1

bool is marshalled as 4 byte. This matches Win32 BOOL. But Win32 BOOLEAN is one byte, so you need to flag all your SYSTEM_POWER_CAPABILITIES bool members with [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I1)].
