Enable the computer sleep function, greatly improving work efficiency

　　Leave the computer for a while

When using a computer at ordinary times, it is often the case that you may leave for a period of time, which may be long or short. It is not fixed, such as when you eat at noon or evening. At this time, if the computer is shut down, it seems a little difficult, because when it comes back, many programs, web pages have to be re-opened, but if it is not shut down, the computer is a waste of electricity, if there is another delay, it may not be necessary to change the time from one hour to two hours. That would be a waste of time! What should I do? In fact, you only need to enable the system's sleep function at this time.

When you need to wake up after entering the sleep state, you only need to press the power button or shake the USB mouse to quickly restore the working status before leaving and continue to work. The speed is much faster than restarting after shutdown! In addition, all work before sleep can continue without restarting. At the same time, after entering the sleep state, the computer will only have memory power-on to save the data in the working state, while all other hardware will be powered off, so the power consumption is very low.

　　What is "Sleep "?

When the computer is sleeping, it will cut off the power of other accessories except the memory, and the data in the working status will be stored in the memory, so that when you wake up the computer again, you can quickly restore the job before sleep. If you need to leave your computer for a short time during your work, you can use the sleep function. On the one hand, you can save power and on the other hand, you can quickly recover your work.

However, you should be reminded that because the sleep status does not save the desktop status to the hard disk, if the power is down during sleep, the unsaved information will be lost, therefore, before the system goes to sleep, you 'd better save all the documents to be saved by pressing Ctrl + S, just in case.

There are two ways to enable the sleep function. One is to directly click sleep in the shutdown button of the Start menu, and the other is to set the time in computer power management, as long as no one on the computer has been operating and reached the set time, it will automatically enter the sleep state.

In addition, the method for enabling sleep, mixed sleep, and exit modes is similar to that for enabling sleep.

　　Sleeping on a computer for a long time

In addition to leaving the computer for a short period of time, sometimes we may leave the computer for a longer period of time, such as going out to work, or even leaving the computer for a day, so what should we do at this time? If the computer is shut down, the programs, documents, webpages, and materials opened in the computer will be re-opened during the next boot! Don't shut down. If I don't get back in a day, the power supply is off, and all the data is Over, it won't work even with sleep! What should I do? Very easy! Enable another practical function-"Sleep "!

Compared with the sleep function, data is stored in the memory, while the sleep function saves data to the hard disk. After sleep, all accessories are not powered on, so the power consumption is almost zero! In addition, even if the sleep state is powered off, the stored data will not be affected. When the computer wakes up, all work can still be recovered normally. At the same time, because the data is stored in the hard disk, the wake-up speed is much faster than that of the new boot computer.

　　What is "sleep "?

"Sleep" is a power saving state designed mainly for portable computers, in this state, the opened documents and programs will be saved to a file on the hard disk (which can be understood as an image in the memory state), and the data will be read from this file after the next boot, and load the physical memory. The file size is the same as the physical memory size. Because the file written into memory during sleep is a disk file, the reading speed is much higher than that when the disk is started normally, so it is much faster than when the disk is started normally.

In addition, after the sleep function is enabled, a sleep file of the same size as your memory will be generated on the system disk to store data in the memory, you should pay attention to whether your system disk has sufficient space. To ensure the stable operation of the system, the available space should account for about 10% of the system partition, that is, 50 GB of system partition should have at least 5 GB of available space.

Sleep cannot replace shutdown and restart. For example, when installing some software, installing patches for the system, repairing and changing hardware devices, or modifying BIOS settings, you must shut down or restart the system. At the same time, if you do not need a computer for a long time, it is best to choose to shut down. In addition, some online applications, such as Web applications to be logged on and instant messaging software (most instant messaging software can automatically reconnect after recovery, but cannot save the original dialog window) and many network management programs may be unable to use normally after recovery, so it is best to exit these programs before the system sleep.
