Standby puts your computer into a low-power-consumption mode, but makes it available almost instantly. Standby doesn't save settings or memory, so if the computer loses power during Standby, these are lost. Hibernate saves all information and shuts down the computer. When the computer comes back on, however, the Desktop is restored to where it was before shutdown
