Putting the PC into Standby

Basics

and Hibernation Mode

 

As an alternative to shutting down the PC, you

 

can put the PC in standby mode. To conserve

 

power, you can automatically put the PC into

 

 

standby and then hibernation by setting the

 

power management timers.

 

Standby mode

 

When the PC 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 PC, any

 

programs, folders, and documents that were

 

open before you put the PC 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.
