How to turn off the computer?
Start --> Turn Off Computer
-
Three of the options in your poll have nothing to do with shutting down the computer. The only one that makes sense is "Shut Down".
Hibernate, Standby and Turn off monitor do not shut your computer down.

Same here when my use is over for the day. :)

There are actually many ways to turn off the computer....One of them include a sledgehammer.

Very observant 'Master Glitch' perfect answer.

Quick question, is this a real question or just a random topic? ???

I usually shutdown but sometimes I use hibernation. It's convenient when you have some windows open that you'd rather not close. And, hibernation is still a fully powered-down state.
-
To turn it on again, that's what the screwdriver is for. :P
Well anyways, back on topic (following Soybean), I normally use Stand By for school (when switching classes and such) but, at home, I use Shut Down overnight.
Never tried Hibernation, never going to try. :D
-
I always shut down fully.
I remember my laptop had problems with standby that I could never resolve, it was very slow after waking up even if I left it for an hour or so to run the sleep from its circuits.
Seriously, standby made my laptop very slow and waking from hibernate took as long as a cold boot.
Hibernating on this computer is only slightly faster than a cold boot, not tried standby.
I don't think any power saving modes would benefit me personally anyway - if my computer's on I'm using it, if not I turn it off.
-
My desktop is the one with which I sometimes use Hibernation. When I use hibernation, it's not mainly to save time starting up again, although it does save some time. As I said my previous post, the main reason for using hibernation is to save a work session rather than having to close all open applications.
My son sometimes uses my desktop computer and sometimes leaves some programs running. If I sense that he may have intended to come back to what he was doing but I know he won't be back at the computer for awhile, that would be an example of a situation where hibernation comes in handy.
-
I see the point there, but I'm the only user of my computer, so that doesn't really apply to me.
Anything I'm working on I just save before I shut down.
-
Yeah, I can see how that is very useful.
I think the only flaw in my laptop's power-saving feature is that any keystroke wakes it up from Safe Mode. Very annoying as I have to wait about 30 seconds before I can re-engage Safe Mode, otherwise my laptop would freeze for a minute.
-
I always hibernate, and shut down only if I get some serious problem, something like virus, to enter the safe mode.
-
I love hibernation on a laptop. Mainly because of the fast load about 5 - 10 seconds after I open it I'm ready to go. This was most useful at school and now when I am doing presentations and jumping around from room to room all day.
You do need to shut down every now like a desktop. Hibernation can take up a bit of disk space but that is becoming less of an issue.
