Optional Win7 "Sleep" and "Sleep" modes

  
        National Day holiday, I am playing with the new genuine Win7 computer at home, the cool Win7 desktop, changing the endless Win7 theme and Win7 wallpaper... It’s so cool! At this time, the neighbor’s big brother came to knock on the door: “The big festival, the weather is so Ok! What are you doing at home? Go for a ride! Go to the bike!”

I looked at a bunch of photos on the computer waiting to be processed, hesitating whether to turn off the computer. If you shut down, many programs and web pages will be reopened when you come back; if you don't shut down, the computer will be wasted. It’s a bit difficult...

Big Brother smiled and said: “Win7 has sleep and hibernation functions, choose a 呗!”

“What is the difference between sleep and hibernation?” I asked.

Big Brother told me: When the computer is in the "sleep" state, it will cut off the power of other accessories except the memory. The working status data will be saved in the memory. When you need to wake up, just press the power button or shake it. The USB mouse can quickly wake up the computer to restore the state of the computer before sleep. However, because the sleep state does not save the desktop state to the hard disk, if the power is turned off during the sleep state, the unsaved information will be lost, and it is better to save the document once before the system sleeps. If you need to leave the computer for a short time, you can use the sleep function to save power and resume work quickly.

"sleep" state is to save open documents and programs to a hard disk file, after waking up to read data from the file, and load physical memory and physical memory as the file size. Since the file written by memory during hibernation is a disk file, the speed of reading is much higher than that of accessing the disk during normal startup, which is naturally much faster than normal startup. In the sleep state, even if the power is turned off, it will not affect the saved data. When the computer wakes up, all the work can still be resumed normally. After entering the sleep state, all accessories are not powered, so the power consumption is very small. Sleep mode can be used if the computer is not used for a long time.

ride how I want to go have to half a day, a long time, to choose a "sleep" mode better. I clicked the round button in the lower left corner of the Win7 desktop, and then clicked the small triangle next to the "Shutdown" button, but there is no "sleep" option in the pop-up menu. I am a bit puzzled. When

"hybrid sleep" mode, the Shut Down menu does not "sleep" option

brother said this is because the current Win7 system settings are "hybrid sleep" mode, after entering the hybrid sleep, system The data in the memory is first saved to the hard disk, and the power supply of other devices except the memory is cut off. During recovery, if there is no power failure, the system will recover directly from the memory, only a few seconds; if the power is off, because the memory is still stored in the hard disk, you can also recover from the hard disk without worrying about data loss. . However, the hybrid sleep mode requires the motherboard's power management to support the S3 mode. If your computer supports the Hybrid Sleep feature, then when you start Sleep after turning on the Hybrid Sleep feature, the system automatically goes into Hybrid Sleep.

if we want to choose a "sleep" or "hibernate" mode, hybrid sleep mode can be turned off in the settings.

Open the "System and Security" panel in the "Control Panel" and select "Change your computer's sleep time" in "Power Options".

In the "Advanced Settings" of the power options, we found the "Sleep" option, turning the original "Open" into "Off" in the "Allow Hybrid Sleep" setting option.

Now let's go back to the Win7 desktop and the "Hibernate" option appears in the Expand menu of "Shutdown".

brother also told me that the hibernation feature is enabled, the system will generate a disk memory and the same size of the hibernation file, memory used to store data among. If you want to use the hibernation function, you must pay attention to whether your system has enough space. In order to run the system stably, the available space should generally account for about 10% of the system partition. If the system has less partition space and there is no need to use the Win7 system sleep function, you can also turn off the hibernation function to save hard disk space.

original Win7 system "sleep" there are so many rich models to choose from, in a variety of situations can do both energy and can quickly restore the system state. Click "Hibernate" to let my Win7 system sleep well, and go out with the big brother to enjoy the sun!
