Powering down the computer
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
NOTE
To power down the computer using the Standby command,
click Start, Turn Off Computer, and select Stand By.
Sample Turn Off Computer Windows
NOTE
The computer saves the status of all open programs and files,
turns off the display, and goes into a low-power mode. The
on/off light blinks amber indicating the machine is in Standby
mode.
If you power down using the Standby command and the main
battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure
to save your work first.
If you hold down the Shift key, StandBy becomes Hibernate in
the Turn Off Computer dialog box. To enter hibernation mode,
hold down the shift key while you select Hibernate.
