To properly turn o the computer, rst shut down the operating system software.
●
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

Depending on the operating system, pressing the power button may cause the computer to enter a low-
power or “standby” state instead of automatically turning the power o. This allows you to conserve energy
without closing software applications; later, you can start using the computer immediately without having to
restart the operating system and without losing any data.
CAUTION: Manually forcing the computer o will cause the loss of any unsaved data.
To force the computer o manually and bypass the “standby state,” press and hold the power button for four
seconds.
On some models, you can recongure the power button to work in On/O mode by running Computer Setup.
Refer to the Maintenance and Service Guide (English only) for more information about using the Computer
Setup utility.
