HI Draclvr and all.
I could be wrong but I believe I read somewhere that with Windows 10 even if you choose the
Shut Down option what it really is, is Hybernation mode and not really a total shut down. Please let me know if this is wrong or not.

Nope! Shut down does just what it says... shuts it down completely. Hibernation, sleep and shut down are three different things.

This is an optional setting. By default it may be set to hibernate in order to make it look like Windows is booting faster. Hibernating instead of completely shutting down exists in both Windows 8 and 10.

Here's a thread where someone tells how to change the option
https://superuser.com/questions/1096371/why-is-windows-hibernating-when-i-shut-down

Here are some other instructions I found for Windows 10, mainly to do with the power button:

Select the Start Window icon in the lower left
Select Settings
System
Power & Sleep
Additional Power Settings
Choose what the Power button does
Change Settings that are currently unavailable
Under Shutdown Settings, choose what you want to happen when you use the Power button, then Save Settings

Thank you for your quick reply Jenny100, I actually forgot to check my power button feature until you brought it up and when I did , surprise, surprise, it was set up as Sleep. So I changed it..

I shut it down on Sunday nights to clear out the virtual memory. When Maggsie closed the lid on her laptop, that automatically puts it to sleep.


I still prefer to do a "proper" daily shut down, Draclvr. Always have smile

I totally agree that: Hibernation, sleep and shut down are three different things.

If you just put your computer or laptop (I guess more so to laptops) to Sleep and if you say, have your Laptop sitting on top of a Laptop fan to keep it cool, then your laptop fan will keep running in Sleep mode.
Hibernation is a deeper sleep mode and then your laptop fan will stop running, I know this because both my wife and I have Laptop Fans and they will keep on running in sleep mode but not in hibernation mode or shut down.
