monitors system activity. System activity refers to any activity

energy.

Disable Fast startup
Your computer uses Fast startup to start quickly, but also uses a
small amount of power to check for signals to start. These checks
will slowly drain your computer’s battery.
If you prefer to reduce your computer’s power requirements and
environmental impact, turn off Fast startup:
1.Press the
Windows key
or select the
Windows Start button
then
select
Settings
>
System
>
Power & sleep.
2.Select
Additional power settings.
3.Select
Choose what the power buttons do
.
Note
If Fast startup is off, your computer will take longer to start from Sleep.
Your computer will also not start if it receives an instruction to start over a
network (Wake on LAN).
