Disable hybrid sleep (faster sleep on desktops)

CPU & PowerSafe riskReboot requiredReversible

Runs powercfg /setacvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_SLEEP 94ac6d29-… 0 to turn off Hybrid Sleep on AC power. Hybrid Sleep writes a hibernation copy of RAM to disk every time the PC sleeps (insurance against power loss) — sensible on a desktop only if you fear outages, but it makes entering sleep slower and constantly rewrites a multi-GB file to your SSD. Disabling it gives fast, clean S3 sleep. On a desktop on a UPS or stable power this is the better default. Reboot required so the scheme re-reads it. Revert re-enables hybrid sleep.
