out. This option is useful when you need to step away for a moment but don't want to
shut it down.

powers off the system. When you shut down, the operating system closes all running

back on. It helps refresh the system and apply any changes made.
SEARCHING FOR FILES OR FOLDERS
We should save our files in folders to easily find them later. However, if we forget where we
stored them, we can use the search feature instead of browsing through File Explorer. Windows
has a search box in the File Explorer window that lets us quickly find files or folders.
You can use this search box if:
You remember the full or partial name of the file or folder.
You know the date the file or folder was last modified.
You know the file extension.
Let’s learn how to use the Search feature in Windows.
Searching of Files using File Explorer
We can search for files or folders in File Explorer if we know the exact name or file extension.
To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the File Explorer and type the file or folder name that you want to search.
Step 2: Double-click on the file or folder to open.
