What will happen
Closing the computer cover is a simple and effective way to instantly suspend your computer. But many don’t know what’s really going on when they do.
When you close the lid, the computer enters sleep mode. It is designed to consume very little energy while still retaining all the components needed to function.
Therefore, when you open the lid, you will see that all the programs running on the laptop are still active.
Also, if the battery is damaged or very low, the computer turns off. Then you will lose all saved data, especially if it is an old computer. On newer devices, standby modes will save all data to the hard drive before the computer turns off automatically.
How to properly shut down your computer
The best way is to go to the start menu, then “Power” and “Power off”
Also, each person can check what is happening when the computer lid is closed. The Windows operating system, which is the most common operating system in the world, makes it easy to configure a wide range of settings on a laptop. Here’s how to do it:
- Type “control panel” in the Windows search bar;
- Click the “Hardware and Sound” button, then click “Power Options”;
- A new list will appear on the left, click “Select action to follow after closing lid”;
- Select “Off” for both power modes.
Thanks to this, you can close the computer cover and transport it safely.
