Modern computers are equipped with a huge number of features that are not always fully understood the typical user of Windows.One of these options, which at first glance does not cause any problems, a "sleep mode".What is it?In simple terms, this special regime, which aims to lower electricity consumption.At the same time his main merit is considered that the renewal of the standard working environment in one click or one movement of the mouse.In fact, the "sleep mode» Windows XP (as the most popular system), and all the brothers of the line OS Windows - is a kind of pause that allows economically and efficiently to absent himself from his "machine" and do household chores.
Do not confuse the concept of "sleep mode" with the likes of "hibernation" and "hybrid sleep", which are supposed to have a goal the same, but implement them in different ways.Let me explain briefly the difference.Hibernation is primarily aimed at low power consumption, is used most often on laptops, however, in contrast to the sleep mode, which is just a "dormant" and leaves all the processes of health, this mode literally "sleeps", turn off the computer.It is worth noting that with such disabling processes and files are stored in a stable operating condition on the hard disk, so when you run the results and the active window will not be lost.Hibernation - the most economical mode of consumption relative to electricity.
hybrid "sleep mode" is directed to the standard desktop computers.It incorporates the right features and the "sleep mode", and hibernation.By the way, on any modern Windows, it is this type is already the default, so you deal with it.
For some reason, he could be inactive?This question is also quite relevant.Check its availability is fairly easy: these commands are usually located in your menu.Unmapped this command may indicate that your video adapter does not support a "sleep mode".Windows 7 or any other version in such a situation will require updating video drivers.
What parameters can control a computer administrator?To begin with, the "sleep" and all the others like him in the BIOS mode will be disabled.In order to enable such a regime need to reboot and enter himself BIOS (usually, this function is carried out by means of certain keys, which are dependent on the computer model).
How to deactivate the automatic transition to such a regime, or set it up?Each user is available for a chance to ask their own while waiting for the computer to automatically go into this mode after a specific time.There is also an option simply turn it off.It should immediately be noted that the laptops that run by the battery (not connected to the network) can lose all the information due to discharging, remember that!
So, working with the "sleep mode".To do this, click "Start", go to "Control Panel" and select the category "System and Security".Here we are interested in the section "Power."The "power of choosing a plan," pay attention to the "Change plan settings".Choose and already there to change the advanced settings.Here you will be free to rebuild the function of "sleep mode".After not forget to keep the acts committed.
How to bring the PC from this regime?Today, most of the models offers us simply press the power button.Also, there is an option that you need to press a key on the keyboard or the mouse.Always the details can be found in the documentation supplied with the PC or on the official resource producer.
