Stand By holds the current state of the computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from where you left off. Factors when choosing Stand By: ❖ While in Stand By mode, the computer uses some battery power. The battery will eventually discharge in Stand By mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if you do not save your work before entering Stand By mode. ❖ Restarting from Stand By mode uses less time and battery power than restarting from Shut Down or Hibernation mode. ❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in which you left it, including all open programs and files you were using. If you power down using Stand By and the battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save your work first.
