After purchasing a computer, first of all, a beginner needs to learn how to turn it on and off correctly. This is very important because if the computer is turned off improperly, you can lose information stored in memory.
Do not pull out the plug from the outlet while the computer is running. This is a very bad way to shut down. After regularly shutting down in this way, there is no guarantee that Windows will function normally.
To properly shutdown the computer in emergency situations, you can purchase an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and connect through it, which will give the opportunity to complete the correct shutdown in the event of a power outage in the apartment.
It is also not recommended to turn off the computer with the power button on the system unit. With this method of shutdown, again, you can lose the stored information.
Let's take a look at how to properly shut down your computer.
In the window that opens, click on the "Ok" icon, if the drop-down menu contains the line "Shutdown". The computer shuts down with all information saved. If you open the drop-down menu before clicking on the "OK" button, you can select all the options for shutting down the computer.
Session termination is the disconnection of your session. This function is used when several people are doing work on the computer. One user finishes his own work in the drop-down menu, selects the line "End session" and clicks "OK". Another user opens the system under his own name and starts his own work.
The restart function is required when, after installing some programs, the system requires a computer restart. In this case, in the drop-down menu, select the line "Restart" and click "OK". They also reboot when the computer freezes or slows down.
The Windows operating system has several design variations. But the principle of turning off the computer is the same. Click on the "Start" button and then on the "Shutdown" button. In the window that opens, click on the "Shutdown" button.
