How to turn off windows 8
In Windows 8, the so-called hybrid load is used, which reduces the time required for Windows startup. Sometimes it may be necessary to completely turn off the laptop or computer with Windows 8. This can be done by pressing and holding the power button within a few seconds, but this is not the best method that can lead to unpleasant consequences. In this article, consider how to make a complete shutdown of a computer with Windows 8 without turning off the hybrid load.

What is a hybrid loading?

Hybrid load is a new feature in Windows 8, which uses Hibernate technology to accelerate the launch of the operating system. As a rule, working at a computer or laptop, you have two running Windows sessions under the numbers 0 and 1 (their number may be greater, while input under multiple accounts). 0 Used for the Windows kernel session, and 1 is your user session. When using conventional hibernation, when you select the appropriate item in the menu, the computer records all the contents of both sessions from RAM into the Hiberfil.sys file.

When using a hybrid boot when you press "Turn off" in the Windows 8 menu, instead of recording both sessions, the computer is placed in hibernation only session 0, after which the user session closes. After that, when you turn on the computer again, the Windows 8 kernel session is read from the disk and placed back to the memory, which significantly increases the download time and does not affect user sessions. But, at the same time, it remains hibernation, and not a complete shutdown of the computer.
