Windows 7 Restart that shuts down...

It sounds like you are experiencing a specific behavior with your Toshiba laptop when trying to restart it while running on battery power. Since your laptop restarts successfully when plugged in, but shuts down when running on battery and you attempt to restart, there might be a power setting causing this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this problem: 1. Check Power Settings: - Go to the Control Panel on your Windows 7 laptop. - Navigate to "Power Options." - Click on "Change plan settings" for the power plan you are using. - Look for an option related to what the power button does, or advanced power settings that might be affecting the restart behavior on battery. 2. Advanced Power Settings: - Within the Power Options, there should be an option to access advanced power settings. - Look for settings related to what happens when you press the power button or how the system responds to restart commands on battery power. - Make sure these settings are configured to allow the system to restart regardless of power source. 3. BIOS Settings: - Restart your laptop and access the BIOS settings by pressing a specific key during startup (usually Del, F2, F12, or Esc). - Check for any power-related settings that might be impacting the restart behavior. - Ensure that there are no power-saving features or configurations that are causing the system to shut down instead of restarting on battery. 4. Update BIOS and Drivers: - Visit the Toshiba support website and check for any BIOS updates for your specific laptop model. - Make sure all drivers, especially those related to power management, are up to date. 5. Battery Health: - Check the battery health of your laptop. If the battery is not holding a charge properly, it might be causing unexpected behavior. By going through these steps, you may be able to identify and adjust the settings causing your laptop to shut down instead of restarting while on battery power. If the issue persists, you may want to contact Toshiba support for further assistance or consider consulting with a technician.
