Restart Command; Hibernation Command - Toshiba A1 User Manual

❖
When starting up again, the system does not
automatically open the programs and files you were
previously using.

Restart command

Restart is the same as Turn Off or Shut down but
automatically powers up the computer. Use it when you need
to reload the operating system, for example to activate
changes to system settings.

Hibernation command

The Hibernation command shuts the computer down
completely, but it first saves the current state of the computer
to the hard disk. Since Hibernation mode does not require
power to maintain the saved information, the system settings
are retained indefinitely. Restoring information from the hard
disk takes longer than restoring it from memory. When you
start up again, the computer runs a self-test, loads the
operating system, and then returns to the state in which you
left it.
Factors when choosing Hibernation mode:
❖
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
❖
Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the battery discharges.
❖
Restarting from Hibernation mode uses less time and
battery power than restarting from Turn Off.
❖
Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time
and battery power than restarting from Standby because
information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead
of memory.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the state
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
