Powering Down The Computer; Shut Down Command - Toshiba M1 User Manual

Powering down the computer

When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from:
❖
Shut down, which powers off the computer
❖
Hibernation, which saves the current operating mode to
the hard disk and powers off the computer
❖
Standby, which saves the current operating mode to
memory and enters a low power mode
Each option has its advantages.

Shut down command

The Shut down command powers off the computer. When
you start up again, the computer runs a self-test and loads the
operating system. You must open any programs and files you
want to use.
Factors to consider when choosing Shut down:
❖
No power is used while the computer is shut down. This
is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your
computer for an extended time.
❖
Restarting from Shut down uses the most time and
battery power.
❖
When starting up again, the system does not
automatically open the programs and files you were
previously using.
