Turn Off or Shut down command

The Turn Off or Shut down commands power off the
computer. The Windows
system uses Turn Off if you are not connected to a Windows
network server (domain server). It uses Shut down if you are
connected to a Windows
Factors to consider when choosing Turn Off or Shut down:
❖
No power is used while the computer is turned off. This
is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your
computer for an extended time.
❖
Restarting from Turn Off or 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.

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 powers off the computer, but it
first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk.
Since Hibernation 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 to consider when choosing Hibernation:
❖
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
