Windows 8 Power Options

In Windows 8, below the password protection radio buttons, there are a few more options.

■ Turn on fast startup - for faster startup after a system shutdown.

■ You can show Sleep and Hibernate options in the Power menu.

■ You can show the Lock option in the account picture menu.

These options reflect some of the newer GUI additions to Windows 8.
