shutdown: Hibernate the current machine.
$ shutdown /h
try on your machine

The command "shutdown /h" is used to put the computer into hibernation mode.

In hibernation mode, the current state of the computer is saved to the hard drive, allowing you to turn off the computer completely. When you turn on the computer again, it will resume from where it left off, including all open files and programs.

Using "shutdown /h" will initiate the hibernation process and the computer will shut down while saving its current state. You can then turn on the computer later and it will quickly resume to the state it was in before the shutdown.
