Using Standby mode
If you plan to stop using your computer for a short period of time (not overnight), you can put it into
Standby mode instead of turning it off completely. Putting the computer into Standby mode saves energy
and allows a quick return to normal computer use.
To set the timer for your computer to automatically enter Standby mode after a certain amount of time,
go to Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance and open Power Options.
To activate Standby mode manually, use one of these two methods:
Use the Standby button:
1 Save your work, close all applications and close your Internet connection, if applicable.
2 Press the Standby
The computer goes into Standby mode, indicated by the umber light under the power button.
