What Happens If You Don't Shut Down Your Computer Properly? 

Omg why hasn't anybody thought about that?!?

There is a option for my Lenovo Y700 to turn screen "off" by holding Fn and F2. But i rather to put sleep since it reduces power usage.

easy way to convince yourself

Dang it’s it like the paint will dry and not come off I should try it!

lol the hackerman profile pic goes so well with your comment

nico alex02 same here

Me too. My old laptop had to run off the power point, and I had to urgently leave somewhere, so I unplugged it, and immediately knew there would be something wrong later, and so It was that I had to learn how to create a windows boot drive from a USB for the first time, so I could reinstall windows

@Esteban Outeiral Dias I'll be the kind tech in this case! Besides, there is not perfect protection for computers from their end users. Appreciate the encouragement!

@@thekoki487 STFU

The Koki I'm not understanding your comment - are you for or against shutting your computer off properly ?

Thanks for the explanation saved me minutes

What if you didn't power it on before?

lol thats SO funny

Woah

Ha I have an laptop, I can’t “kill the power”

Hmm, yes. The floor here is made out of floor.

You need group policy editor, in there select Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates>>System. Double click “Do not turn off system power after a Windows system shutdown has occurred”, it will open a new window. On the left hand side of the screen you will see three options: Not Configured, Enabled, and Disabled. Select “Enabled” and click “Ok” to save the settings.

I do. When I was a little kid we had a windows 98/XP machine that when turned off would display that on the screen. The orange letters on the black screen terrified me lol.

you can activate it in windows 7, 8, 10

i barely fixed it.took me 3 frickin hours

Hack Codex One time i wanted to shut down my pc but it was doing something with windows and that shit was taking too long, so i got mad and cut the power. Hopefully nothing happened 😬

Not necessarily. On certain linux distributions, this isn't the case (Kali for example), but on windows, this is probably true.

Never mentionable: Delete superfetch and use flex tape

Only on Windows 10. Windows 10 ibernates himself instead of fully shutting down, I ALWAYS suggest to disable Fast Startup.

not if you have windows installed on an ssd

Yeah no shit but everyone has turned off their pc improperly

Or ALT+F4 on the home screen ;)

Thank you so much u help me alot :)

Mike nice.

Of course they took her side, they don’t want to pay her warranty... Doesn’t mean either of you were in the right... Hard drives fail and unless her HD physically failed you fucked her, curroption doesn’t physically destroy a hard drive a reformat should fix that easy... You just sound like a doushcebag

Bob Saget her hard drive did physically fail. She was literally in every day for 2 weeks. After interviewing her husband she would hold the power button every time when stepped away from the pc and had been since she bought it. I tried explaining how this is bad and the consequences. I told her to just let it go to sleep. I even set it up if she single pressed the power button it would shut off. When it finally failed she yelled at me and blamed me. So sure call me a douchbag.

Bob Saget didn't he literally say "They called me and took my side" and you just said "of course they took her side" What?!

Bob Saget also have you never heard of bad sectors or corrupted sectors? Reformating does not fix that.

Lol, cool

@@k3nnyo411 what about SSD?

I think this myth was circulating 20 years ago. Since that time HDDs have power capacity to park heads outside of disk surface after power shutdown.

ssd's don't use needles to read data, that's why they are so good and faster. They have no moving parts which makes them more durable.

That's not cmd it's windows safe boot

So your dad shouts to fix BSOD?

"i have fixed the problem by installing this freeware thing called Linux" LOL!

JustusLM pretty sure it's called saving money and buying only when you feel the need or every other year, I'm up to 4 and I'm not rich at all. Yes they all work I take care of them.

Johnjs You buy a new Computer every second year? Let's drop the rich/poor argument for a second, I would like to know why you do this. What do you need 4 Computers for?

JustusLM it's a bit complex but k let's see. One is a desk computer for normal basic use, one is for gaming or video editing power if I needed, two are for ultra portable touch screen design work or art of some kind. It sounds weird but I like having them for different uses. They range from i3 to i7.

Johnjs OK, I get your point now, but here's an idea that might actually be useful (you can consider it if you want): It seems to me like two computers would be fully sufficient: One with the power for gaming and editing, this one will also be used for standard tasks, essentially being the main system. You could upgrade this system when needed, this is far more cost efficient than buying new systems. _Also, having one computer that is your "baby" really is a great feeling._ The other one would be a portable device, maybe even a laptop or "ultrabook". This one would most likely stay relevant in terms of hardware for a while since art or design work aren't that demanding. Back to the original point: You would only ever end up using both at once when you come home from somewhere, and did something on the portable system that needs to be copied to the main system. Other than that, you are always only using one.

ah yeah because to run more than 1 pc you need to be rich. i have 3 gaming pc's 2 of which are of a little older generation and i use all 3. 1 as a main gaming rig and workstation, 1 as a Lan party pc as its a lot more solid and less likely to be damaged ad its worth alot less than the main aswell and the third is a watercooled passion project. all these pc's together in total cost me well under $1000 and i haven't found a game that the main cant play on higher settings sooooo yeah you don't need to be rich its called saving and buying used/buying smartly and this is coming from a student...

the windows shouldn't be damaged if it's files were not accesed when the force shut down accured, unless the hard drive was reading\writing adjecent files. But it will probably happened sometimes.

Why would they even do that? It's not like they need to quickly do something. Just shutting it down is such an obvious thing to do in this case.

explains why when i was a kid a good chunk of the computers didnt work

Yumry Gameplays back when I was in elementary school. while the teacher never instructed that kind of behavior, many of the kids would still do it and I even told them they shouldn’t. I would never advise doing this on a computer unless it is running so slow it won’t shut down or restart, or if it freezes completely.

TheAwkwardGuy, because for some reason school systems think people with teaching certificates are capable of teaching something that should be taught by someone who understands computers (and has the relevant education for that). I've never understood how an English major who is a teacher is qualified to teach ANY type of computing course.

That IS the real reason why Windows takes so long to shut down. It's seriously sending little messages about your shut down to the NSA, DHS, CIA, and other alphabets about your activities.

No to deal with just unplug the power cord or never shutdown your computer aka 24/7

If you type the shutdown command to the the windows command line it Should buy pass the "windows is updating" BS! But I don't game so I switched to Linux and don't have to deal with the BS Windows 10 puts out!

Liam Mc Cormick What? Reinstalling Gentoo isn't so bad plus it's likely you could recover your installation.

Have you ever even installed it in the first place? You're right though, recovery should be as simple as plugging in the device you originally installed with, chrooting and then re-emerging or reinstalling whatever file or files got corrupted.

Liam Mc Cormick TBH no I didn't but I looked it up on the wiki. It's a pain compared to Ubiquity/Calamares/Anaconda or even Arch install process but , absolutely, it's not that bad. Good old chroot FTW!

I've effectively done that 5 times on Gentoo, and 3 times on Funtoo. It's not too bad so long as you fix the bugs in whatever software you install quickly, and keep a nice backup of your configuration files. If you can do that the worst part of installing is waiting for packages to compile (my current install would take about a day, but that's an edge case)

edge case? nah, I've recompiled every package on the system on several occasions when updating gcc (should have read the wiki on that note) and it took about 24 hours.

i dont have a driver crash but my 2gb laptop would just not respond

@@lord_khufu what did you do?

This week my computer will stop giving video signal. Keyboard and mouse stopped responding too, otherwise everything remained on. After 5 hours I had to turn off from the power supply button. I turned it on the next day and it seems to work fine but it left me concerned.

@@savantgraphics1542 turn it off and fail to boot, luckily chkdsk run for a while and it’s back on again, probably because i play Minecraft or something, 64mb vram suck, at least it’s none of my concern now, it’s not my laptop so the people I borrowed it from took it back, for online school probably

Once you turned it back on did it work? I have the same problem and not sure what to do

Kermo Sarapson *laughs in Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu*

Sometimes there is the option to only shutdown. I have the Fall Creators Update ready to install and I could only shutdown if I wanted to. You can also configure the usage times of your PC, during which your computer will not automatically reboot, but will instead wait until the schedule is over and then it will check if you're actually still using the computer or you can schedule the update. In general, you shouldn't postpone updates for too long or your computer might reboot by itself. Find a moment when you can afford to not use the computer and let it reboot. Do note that updates are your computer's first line of defence against malware and hackers.

Kermo Sarapson I don’t like that windows doesn’t ask twice to shut down. Mac asks “are you sure you want to shut down” I wish windows did that because sometimes I miss click shutdown instead of sleep...

Yeah, sometimes you know you're about to lose electrical power (and need a hard shutdown anyways). Frankly ANY kind of forced update (including before a user-initiated shutdown) is excessive and risks data loss.

DreamWarriorFish Much security, wow.

developandplay Right, because it's Microsoft's fault that your WiFi dropped xD Okay, MAYBE there is a solution to check Download Speed to a certain degree while updating the system, so in case of a lost connection Windows just moves the update, but I am pretty sure it would have been implemented already if it were that easy

Silvan Verhoeven Well every other Software I know simply pauses the download or worse quits the download. Of course the lost connection isn't Microsofts fault but the absence of error handling is annoying me.

developandplay Sure, every other program does it. But every other program is not the OS. I am not an expert, maybe it is really dumb by Microsoft not to handle this. But maybe it were too complicated or even impossible. Maybe you can tell how difficult it is to handle that as an OS when updating the OS. If you know for sure that it can be done easily, I am sorry for discussing this, if you don't, that might be the reason why Microsoft never implemented it

At least on Android, the whole system update file is downloaded before starting the update... Not sure if it's the same way on Windows and you hard reset it before the update itself had actually started (as it couldn't start because the file wasn't downloaded yet)... But I do agree, they should redirect you to an error message, into a shutdown and rescheduled update.

It was before windows 8. Windows 7 still offers the ability to download the update, but not install it so it can do it when you shutdown. Windows 8 was the version where Microsoft thought "everyone must be connected to the internet, lets have them all download and install at the same time!" One of the few reasons why I HAVE NOT updated to 10.
