How do you restart it wrong? And more importantly - what's the correct way to do it?
It's so annoying (and slightly embarrassing, and funny how often it happens), to restart it myself to no avail... then have it work after a second identical restart just because someone else is spectating.
A lot of people just close the laptop lid or turn off the monitor thinking that's rebooting. Or they shutdown thinking it's better than restarting, but Windows' default shutdown is more of a close all programs and hibernate, so it often doesn't fix things.
I've heard holding Shift when clicking Shutdown performs a real Shutdown, and anectodally it seems to work, but I can't be sure.
That's crazy. Maybe that's why my work computer doesn't have an option to hibernate... Thanks!
I think Windows actually disables hibernation on some computers now, but 'Fast startup' (the hibernate instead of shutdown feature) works independently from hibernation, so it's definitely possible for it still to be enabled.
