The following four settings changes are the ones I recommend you change in Windows 10, especially if you are using a Windows tablet. The default settings are, in my opinion, not ideal for most usage cases. So it makes sense to decide which of these you want to use and when. However, sleep uses a fair amount of battery power. Sleep stores the state of your computer in RAM, and so resumes much faster you’ll be up and running in two to five seconds in some cases. But that’s still much slower than using sleep. That way when you start the computer again, even months later, it starts much faster than a fresh boot of the computer, so it’s up in about thirty seconds. Hibernation shuts power use off completely-zero battery drain-and stores the state of your computer in the hard drive. I know most of you are aware of the differences between hibernation and sleep on a computer. These may be especially important if you are using a Windows tablet, but they are also useful for laptops, and they all have to do with hibernation and sleep.
Out of the box, Windows 10 comes with some power settings that, depending on your usage habits, probably should be changed.
