Changing power settings
You can change power management settings, such as the power button function and
You can also adjust power schemes, adjust advanced power settings, and enable Hibernate mode.
Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options such as when the monitor or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can also select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme.
Advanced power settings let you assign different power saving modes to the power button.
Hibernate mode (also called save to disk) writes all current memory (RAM) information to the hard drive, then turns the computer completely off. The next time you turn on the computer, it reads the memory information from the hard drive and opens the programs and documents that were open when you activated hibernate.
To change the power scheme:
1Click Start, then select Settings, then Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens.
2If you do not see the Power Options icon, click view all Control Panel options.
