Aim

To make sure the computer shuts down properly.

Background information

On computers with Windows 10, by default the computer resumes rather than restarts after shutdown. This can cause problems with MediaRecorder and associated software like The Observer XT.

Therefore, we recommend to make sure that the computer really shuts down.

Procedure

1. In the Windows start window with apps, type Power options and then click the Power options tile.
2. Choose Choose what the power buttons do.

   

3. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.

   

4. Select the following options:
   
   When I press the power button – Shut down.
   When I close the lid – Shut down.
   Under Shutdown settings deselect the checkboxes Sleep, Hibernate, and Turn on fast startup (recommended).
