1. Basics of pc and windows

 Starting and closing computer
Computer power operations……….....press the power button (to open power)

 Turn off………….…………start/shutdown/turn off

 Restart………………...……start/shutdown/restart
 Log off……………………..start/shutdown/log off
 Hibernate------------------------start/shutdown/hibernate
 Switch user---------------------start/shutdown/switch user
 Shutdown-----------------------start/shutdown.
- This all arrangement is not must. but it is based on computers and we can change its arrangement
- Sleep: - is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within
several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like
pausing a DVD player.
- Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in
memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard
disk, and then turns off your computer.
- Log out or switch users: -To let other users use your computer, you can either log out, or leave yourself logged
in and just switch users. If you switch users, all of your applications will continue running, and everything will
be where you left it when you log back in.
- Lock the screen:-If you're leaving your computer for a short time, you should lock your screen to prevent other
people from accessing your files or running applications. When you return, simply enter your password to log
back in. If you don't lock your screen, it will lock automatically after a certain amount of time.
- Suspend:-To save power, suspend your computer when you aren't using it. If you use a laptop, GNOME
suspends your computer automatically when you close the lid. This saves your state to your computer's memory
and powers off most of the computer's functions. A very small amount of power is still used during suspend.
- Power off or restart:-If you want to power off your computer entirely, or do a full restart, first log out by
clicking your name on the top bar and selecting Log Out. You will be returned to the login screen. On the login
screen, click the power icon on the top bar and select either Restart or Power Off.
- Q1. What is the difference between shutdowns and hibernate, switch user and turn off?
