Previous soft media Windows7 The team published "Small knowledge: the difference between shutdown, sleep and hibernation in Windows Vista/7". Friends who are not familiar with sleep and hibernation are recommended to take a few minutes to read carefully. The explanation has been very detailed, including the Windows 7 optimization master and Rubik's cube also supports the exit mode of Vista and Windows 7 (screen power saving state but the network is still available, suitable for leaving mode when downloading tasks) and so on.

Here are some of Microsoft's official FAQs about sleep and hibernation.

Q: What is the difference between sleep, dormancy and mixed sleep? A: “Sleep” is a state of energy saving that allows the computer to quickly resume full power operation (usually within a few seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer to sleep is like pausing a DVD player: the computer stops working immediately and is ready to continue working. “Sleep” is a power-saving state that is primarily designed for portable computers. Sleep usually saves work and settings in memory and consumes a small amount of power, while hibernation saves open documents and programs to your hard drive, then shuts down your computer. Hibernation uses the least amount of power in all power-saving states used by Windows. For laptops, if you know that you will not be using it for a long time and it is not possible to charge the battery during that time, you should use sleep mode. “Mixed sleep” is primarily designed for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep and hibernation - it saves all open documents and programs to memory and hard drive, then puts the computer into a low-power state so that it can be quickly resumed. This way, if a power failure occurs, Windows can resume your work from the hard drive. If you turn on Hybrid Sleep and put your computer to sleep, the computer automatically enters a mixed sleep state. On desktop computers, mixed sleep is usually turned on by default.

Q: Why can't I find the "Sleep" or "Hibernate" option on my computer? A: Click the Start button and then click the arrow next to the “Shutdown” button.
