Sleep and hibernate power features are not available when you enable Hyper-V technology on a Windows Server 2008-based portable computer
This article describes that the sleep and hibernate power features on a portable computer are not available when you enable Hyper-V technology on a Windows Server 2008-based portable computer.
When you enable Hyper-V technology on a Windows Server 2008-based portable computer, you lose the sleep power feature and the hibernate power feature. These power features are available before you enable Hyper-V on a Windows Server 2008-based portable computer. Additionally, you cannot re-enable these power features.
Because the sleep and hibernate power features are not available, these features are not enabled when you close the lid of a portable computer. Then, when the battery of a portable computer runs out of power, the portable computer may shut down or turn off, and the portable computer does not go into hibernation. Because the portable computer does not go into hibernation, you may lose any unsaved data.
Note Hibernation saves a desktop session.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
