What damage will powering down instead of shutting down do?
- by JonHopkins
What is it that Windows is doing when it shuts down?
Assuming I've saved everything, what negative impact does powering down instead of shutting down properly have? We've all done it at some point and personally I don't know anyone whose machine has died as a result.
(Just to be clear, I know I shouldn't, I'm just not sure why.)
