Sorry for the dumb question, but how can I easily power down? I miss the Vista style, of going to "Start" and "shut down." Thanks so much. :) UPDATE: I just noticed in the Control Panel, that we have the option to choose what "closing the lid" does. So, I set that to power down, upon closing the lid.

Bought this for my husband and he clicks on the start menu and his icon is on the top right. He right clicks on it and signs out. After it signs out the icon on bottom right gives the option to shut down, restart or sleep. Not any easier than Vista that's for sure. When I used his laptop I just shut the top when I was done. I think it logged it off...I didn't hear him say anything otherwise. Good luck. He is still trying to figure out Windows 8.

While in the "Desktop" view, you will need to move your mouse the upper right or lower right corner to bring up the menu bar. On the menu bar click "settings", then click on "power" in the lower section, and it will ask you the various options (shut down, reboot, etc).

You will have a very hard time, if like me, your keyboard mouse stops working a month after you start using this particular Toshiba. If it is still within the time period to return it to Amazon, do so. I missed the return date by 2 weeks. Toshiba quality has gone down considerably. Sorry I didn't answer your technical issue more specifically, but when your mouse fails, it will be impossible to do much with your laptop.

Let me understand your question. You want to turn the device off? Just hold down for 3-5 sec the power button.

Sorry but I dont have the answer to this one. I never thought about turning it off.

I installed a Start Menu application. There are several -- Power 8, Start Menu 8, Classic Shell. I went for Classic Shell and it has worked very well for me so far.

You pull it out. If you want, you can make a distraction and pull it out then. Unfortunately, the only way that I can think of (I haven't tried it) is to go disable it in the windows control panel (under hardware). Hope this helps!

I have my desktop plugged into the master and a pair of monitors into the controlled ports. All I do is a normal shutdown command when I'm finished using the PC, and a minute or so later the power drops from the monitors entirely. Works like a charm!

Yes and a very easily accessible button to turn it off as well. It works great and is another awesome feature of this laptop.

Touch button to start, then touch button again to back up and release lid. Very sharp edge on lid and can!!! I've quit using it because of dangerous edges.

You can use the auto stop if you want or turn off the coffee maker at any time. Auto stop us a cool feature to have if you ever forget to turn it off. I am not sure if if can be permanently shut off if that's what you're asking. I really love my coffee maker and it has options to also set it to turn on at a set time to make your coffee...great thing to wake up and the coffee is ready!

I have had this timer for several months and I don't believe that there is a power off button. You can power off the bells and whistles but not the timer itself. I guess if you wanted it completely shut down you would have to remove the battery/ies. I use it a fair amount and I haven't had to change the battery/ies. Hope this helps.

Just drop the lid down, press down and it auto-snaps shut. You can then also use the key to lock it.

i don't know that specific answer, mine its always on..... you dont have an easy option to power it off, it does have a button on the back that you need to press around 5 seconds to turn it off, but its not that accessible, also through the admin webpage you have options to turn the hard disk off while idle for more than X minutes... like sleep mode, but you never turn it off... hope that helps

You must first press the press the "AVR" button below the "Power On" Button, Then press the "Power Off" button... (I hope this helps :) , I had a bit of trouble at first but my old 20MkII was the same way _ because it is designed to control power for many devices separately you must tell it which one to power down )

No, you just close the lid - only option you have. I am surprised that they still make this model. Regards, Butch.

I had not used this feature, but just tried it and it appears that it can be stopped and started again where I left off. Simple to do just using the start/stop button. Thanks

You just press the power button and it will only show the info in the top window and the rest of the screen remains black. Whenever the lid is on the screen it will only activate the top window whatever you do. And when you remove the lid it will automatically activate the whole screen.

Yes. I'm assuming you're running on Windows here. These instructions are specific to Win 7, but they shouldn't differ much from Win 8.Go to battery options by clicking on the battery icon on the task bar (bottom right corner). Whichever battery 'plan' is selected/active, edit its options. In the options screen, click on advanced. A list of options should appear. Expand the option for close lid action. The default is probably 'sleep'; change it to 'Do nothing'. Save your changes.Now your laptop will still run when you close your laptop. If it's plugged in to a docking station with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you will have a regular desktop!Hope that helps. Yes. I'm assuming you're running on Windows here.
