I have a ThinkPad T60, with an Intel T7200 CPU, 4GB memory, ATI Fire graphics, 320GB hdd. Windoze (no not a typo) 10 as the ONLY operationg system on the machine. When I shut down the computer, it does NOT fully shut down, it goes into hyper sleep mode? Whatever. I have NEVER in all my years of using laptops (my first was a ThinkPad 380XD with Win 95) used sleep mode or hibernate. I have found those methods of shutting down to be buggy. Windoze 10 is STILL buggy on sleep mode. Why can I NOT shut down the comptuer properly without doing a hard shutdown? When Windoze 10 (this is why I call it windoze) restarts from its hybrid sleep mode the computer takes more than 10 minutes to boot and load into the logon screen. This happens EVERY time I use the normal shutdown method of Start, clidking the little circle i button and choosing shutdown. It puts the computer to sleep. When recovering from this moronic sleep mode it seriously takes 10 minutes or more to eventually load the logon screen. I can turn the laptop on, go grind coffee beans, change out the Mr Coffee filter and put in fresh grind, fill the water reservoir and start the brewing process and BREW a full 12 cup pot of coffee BEFORE Windoze 10 is ready with the logon screen! I have not been able to find settings to select what the power button and shutdown command does. I have set the computers Power Options to NEVER SLEEP and NEVER HIBERNATE. When I shut my computer off, I want it OFF. Not going to some craptacular hybrid sleep mode that doesn't do what it's supposed to. Keep my drivers in stasis so the computer boots faster. BULLDUST! 10 minutes is NOT faster. I can hold the power button 4 seconds and do a hard shutdown and Windoze 10 boots and loads in less than one minute with NO error message about not shutting down correctly. What gives?
My TP 380XD (yes it still runs) with 266mhz cpu and 96MB memory running Windows 2000 runs circles around Windoze 10 on the T60!
Oh and Cortana and Bing are about the most useless search feature I've ever had the aggravation to try.
