Windows Sleep Sleep Walkthrough

It can be faster than restarting after shutting down! And all the work before sleep can be inherited without requiring a reboot. If you do not use the computer for a long time, it is best to choose shutdown.

Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for portable computers, in this state, the open documents and programs are saved to a file on the hard disk (which can be understood as a mirrored memory state), which reads the data from the file the next time it is turned on and loads the physical memory, which is the same size as the physical memory.

。

There are two ways to enable sleep, one is to click Sleep directly in the shutdown button of the Start menu, the other is to set the time in the computer power management, as long as the computer has not been manipulated and reached the set time, it will automatically enter the sleep state.

What is "Hibernate"?

Analog sleep function is to keep the data in memory, hibernation is to keep the data to the hard disk, into hibernation, all accessories do not power, so the power consumption is almost zero! And in hibernation, even if the power, will not affect the data has been retained, when the computer wakes up, all work can still be normal recovery. Also, because the data is kept on the hard disk, the wake-up speed is much faster than restarting the computer.

When the computer is asleep, it will intercept the power of other parts except memory, and the working state will remain in memory, so that when you wake up the computer, you can quickly restore the working state before you sleep.

It is also important to say that when the Hibernate feature is enabled, the system disk will be born with a sleep file that is the same size as your memory to store the data in memory, and users should be aware of whether their system disk has enough space.

But to remind you, because the sleep state does not keep the desktop state to the hard disk, so if the power is lost in the sleep state, then the information will not be retained, so before the system sleep, you'd better have to keep the document all "Ctrl+s" keep, just in case.

In addition to a short time away from the computer, sometimes we may also leave longer time, such as out of work, or even a day may not be next to the computer, then the end of the shutdown? Shutdown, the computer open the program, documents, Web pages, information and so on in the next time you turn on the open again! Do not turn off the machine, If a day does not return, power one off, all the data over, even with sleep can not ah! What to do? Enable another practical feature--"Hibernate"!

Long time not to let the computer sleep a good night

In addition, the methods for enabling hibernation, mixed sleep, and leaving modes are similar to those used to enable sleep.

What is "sleep"?

When you need to wake up after going to sleep, just click on the power button or shake the USB mouse to quickly restore the work before leaving, inheritance to start work. Because the memory written in hibernation is a disk file, it is much more efficient to read than to access the disk at normal startup, so it is a lot quicker than starting normally.

Hibernation is not a replacement for shutting down and rebooting, such as when installing certain software, installing patches to the system, repairing and changing hardware devices, or modifying BIOS settings, be sure to shut down or restart the computer. If you need to leave the computer in the process of work, then you can use sleep function, on the one hand can save electricity, on the other hand can quickly resume work.

At the same time, after sleep, the computer will only have memory power to keep the working state of the data, while the other hardware is all power off, so the electricity consumption is very low. For the system to run, free space should account for about 10% of the system partition, that is, the 50GB system partition should have at least 5GB of free space.

In addition, some networking programs, such as the need to log in to the Web application, instant Messaging software (most instant messaging software can be automatically reconnected after recovery, but not the original dialog window) and many network governance programs after the recovery may be thrown out of the normal use of the situation, It is therefore best to exit these programs before the system sleeps.
