Powering down the computer
Using Turn Off Computer
The Turn off computer command shuts the computer down
completely. 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 when choosing Turn off computer:
❖ 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 Turn off computer uses the most time and
battery power.
❖ When starting up again, the system does not automatically
open programs and files you were using.
To power down the computer using the Turn off computer
command, click Start, Turn off computer, and select Turn Off.
