❖

When starting up again, the system does not 
automatically open the programs and files you were 
previously using.

Restart is the same as Turn Off or Shut down but 
automatically powers up the computer. Use it when you need 
to reload the operating system, for example to activate 
changes to system settings.

The Hibernation command powers off the computer, but it 
first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk. 
Since Hibernation does not require power to maintain the 
saved information, the system settings are retained 
indefinitely. Restoring information from the hard disk takes 
longer than restoring it from memory. When you start up 
again, the computer runs a self-test, loads the operating 
system, and then returns to the state in which you left it.

Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:

❖

While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery 
power.

❖

Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk, 
no data is lost if the battery discharges while the 
computer is in Hibernation mode.

❖

When starting up again, this choice uses less time and 
battery power than the Turn Off or Shut down option. But 
it uses a little more time and battery power to start up 
than the Standby option, because information is being 
retrieved from the hard disk instead of from memory.

❖

On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which 
you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were 
using.
