I've updated the story for the author to reflect hibernation as well. I added clarification re: desktops and notebooks, though I'd suggest powering down a notebook with an SSD is comparable to putting it into hibernation. I don't think anyone would recommend putting it into standby; as you mention, that continues to drain power.

Meanwhile,if you want to disable the feature,you can refer to the following step: 1. To disable Prefetch, set it to 0 and click OK and Exit.

Let us know in the comments below. If we closely look, most of the people started using PC on the Microsoft Windows operating system. Windows makes the whole computer usage user-friendly and make everyone to use a computer without any geeky skills.

Do you know windows services? Or Heard about it? If you want to use the application on windows, there is no application which is fully independent of the operating system.

Each and every application need some dependency to work on your computer. There are other applications which will need some other background process to work. These background processes are also needed by the operating system which is commonly known as services.

On our daily basis, we are using many services as background processes which are hard to find but it is vital because without these services we cannot able to do all things.
