Re: Change for the Red Dot
"Hibernate instead of shutdown. I think I only shut down once a month, when it's Patch Tuesday."
If I remember rightly (it was 2012) it wasn't possible (or advisable) to go into hibernation while the updates were in progress. I'd set the power button to Shutdown rather than Hibernate, and closing the lid put it into Standby. At the time I bitterly resented Microsoft's "We'll do what the hell we like, when we like" arrogance, and I still do; the most recent example of this was my dad getting caught out when Windows 10 auto-installed on his laptop despite him telling it not to on multiple occasions, and then breaking his business accounting software which had warned him it wouldn't work with Win10. It took him, and me, a week of lost time to undo that monstrosity.
