Hibernate and Resume virtual desktop sessions

Last published : Oct 08, 2026
You can use the Hibernate and Resume options on Activity Manager menu to optimize resource utilization by hibernating virtual desktops when not in use and seamlessly resume to their previous state. This not only saves costs and energy but also enhances user workflow with faster session resumption times.
Note:
If you hibernate the virtual desktops for more than 60 days, you can no longer perform hibernate or resume operations.
