shut down / power off setting - Microsoft Community

why there no "shut down" option  in power settings in windows 10? have desk top shut off after period of non use

hi deano,

instead of shutting down computer after period of idle time, recommend putting in sleep mode or hibernate.

when shutting down pc, need save work first , you’ll have sit through boot-up process, manually relaunch all programs you were using, , reopen documents editing. sleep , hibernate, on other hand, preserve session. don’t have worry closing programs , saving documents. when come , press power button, left it.

to hibernate device or put in sleep mode, please refer article below:

shut down, sleep, or hibernate pc
