What is the difference between shutting down the computer using software under DOS and directly pressing the POWER button?
There are mainly two differences:
1: Sometimes when a disk buffer program (such as SMARTDRV) is loaded under DOS, if you shut down using software (such as SHUTDOWN), it can automatically write the buffer back to the disk before shutting down, so that data will not be lost. However, if you press the power button to shut down, it may cause data in the buffer to be lost.
2: The POWER button on new machines often cannot be turned off with just one press, but needs to be pressed for 6 seconds. However, shutting down using software can be done in an instant.
