[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1753064, member: 329282"] I had never considered that. Thanks for planting the seed. Having done a little bit of research the general consensus supports your views but can be a bit contradictory with the suggestion that some moving parts, HDD for instance, spin down. I have my energy saving mode switched off at present so my iMac is always fully on during the day time and switched fully off at night. To test things I just selected 'Sleep' from the drop down menu and it gave the impression of being shut down until I hit the keyboard and everything came back to life - as it should. I have not been able to find out what exactly goes to sleep but think I will try it your way, apart from when on holiday of course. Hopefully some one will be able to confirm that the different shut down with 10.12.4 is 'normal'. [/QUOTE]
