Shut Down
Before you shut down any device, always ensure that you’ve closed out all the programs you had running. When you don’t do it yourself, you force your computer to do it for you, which can strain its system. When you force-shut them down, it’s a massive drain on your computer.

Try to remember to take the time to properly close out all applications on your computer before you shut it down, no matter how much of a hurry you are in. Often, the computer will prompt you to shut them down if you try to skip that step. So always take the strain off your computer and do it yourself; it only takes a couple of minutes.
