Remember that shutting down a computer closes all open applications and processes and turns off the power. It's a good practice to save any unsaved work before shutting down. If you're using a desktop computer, ensure that it is safe to turn off the power after the operating system has shut down. If you're using a laptop, make sure it is not running on battery power or that the battery is sufficiently charged before shutting down.
