Standby vs Hibernate

February 24th, 2010 Posted in Tips & Tricks | No Comments »

What is Standby -> This puts your computer in a low power state so that you could quickly resume your windows work session. Standby is a light “sleep” mode you can put your computer in.

You should save your all work before entering into standby mode. It is just for safety if your computer does not wake up correctly later.

Means if you have any unsaved work on your desktop, it will be lost in standby mode.

How to Standby

Start -> Turn Off Computer -> Standby

or

Start -> turn off Computer -> press “S”

————————————————————————————————

What is Hibernate -> In Hibernate, it saves your current working files into

your hard disk drive. A computer can stay in hibernation mode for a much longer period of time than standby mode when unplugged, and it uses less electricity.

It takes slightly longer to resume from Hibernation than from Standby. However, it’s more secure because everything’s written out to disk, and you’re not dependent on a good power source while in Hibernation, as you are with standby.

It is recommended when you left your PC for a while.

How to Hibernate

Start -> Turn Off Computer -> Shift -> Hibernate (Do you notice that you dont

see the Hibernate option unless you hold down the Shift key)

or

Start -> Turn Off Computer -> Press “H”
