Anonymous Coward User ID: 80379140 United States 05/27/2022 08:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Kernel is still active in the background, it allows for a faster restart. If you want to really shut down your computer you need to disable that function. Here's how to do it. Quoting: Jab McBoosted In the search windows type : Control Panel Select Hardware and Sound In the power options click : change what the power buttons do. At the top of the window click : change settings that are currently unavailable. This would allow to uncheck the boxes that are greyed out at the bottom of the window. Uncheck : Turn on fast startup. If the option is not there for you, that means your computer doesn't have that feature and is already turning off completely by default. Done. Now when you shutdown your computer, it will actually do it completely. I'm a sys admin, and although you over complicated getting to the power settings, you are correct. Everyone who says turn off, unplug, etc isn't taking laptops into account. Yes, a desktop computer turned off, unplugged, is definitely off. This is geared towards laptop owners. |
