Putting the Computer into Standby and Hibernation Mode

As an alternative to shutting down the computer, you can put the PC in standby mode. To conserve power, you can automatically put the computer into standby and then hibernation by setting the power management timers.

Standby Mode

When the computer is in standby mode, it goes into a low-power state and the monitor is blank as if it’s turned off. The next time you use the computer, any programs, folders, and documents that were open before you put the computer in standby will be available. With standby mode, you can save electricity without having to wait for the PC to go through the normal startup routine when you turn it on.
