How do I get computer to turn off automatically after a period of inactivity?
Posted by: kk : Category: Computer Question Answers
A friend has a computer that turns itself off after a certain period of time of inactivity. And all you have to do is move the mouse a little, and the computer comes back on. Maybe the computer is not completely off, maybe this is called hibernate or standby or something. Is this a good thing to do or should I just let my computer run? How do you get the computer to do this auto shut off thing as I described at the start of this paragraph?

Go to Power Options in the control panel. You will find all the choices there. Power off, sleep, hibernate, stand by, etc.
Go to help to read about the various options. You can have a complete power off. You can have a mode that stores memory and powers off for a quicker startup. You can have a mode that just puts it in low power mode which starts up almost instantly. I use the last.
