					<description><![CDATA[Thanks mucho for this import information.

Microsoft obviously thinks their customers don&#039;t know what&#039;s going on.  So they automatically make changes to our computers gaurentee-ing that we don&#039;t know what&#039;s going on. 

Can&#039;t understand what a directory is? We&#039;ll invent folders which are sometimes directories but sometimes system generated and sometimes in the cloud.   Cuz this will be simpler.

Don&#039;t know where your files are?  We&#039;ll stop showing you the full path so you really never learn that in the first place.

Extensions confuse you?  We&#039;ll hide those and show you only part of your filename.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[OH. You wrote this as if there was a dropdown option to put a check mark next to, labeled Sleep = no Start Screen on Wake&quot;.

You&#039;re actually saying that, if you don&#039;t use the Start menu to put the computer to sleep, there will be no start menu when it wakes up.

ARRRGH. I&#039;m glad I puzzled that out, but it could have been clearer. You could have said WHY this works instead of just listing the steps.]]></description>

Hi Glyn, the combined file should download to your web browsers standard download location - most often the Downloads folder where you&#039;ve checked. 

To check Downloads for Google Chrome you can click the three dots by your profile/name at the top right. Or press Ctrl+J on a computer. This will show your download history. If not found, try again perhaps the download was canceled or interrupted. 

Examples for Google Chrome: https://bestim.org/where-to-find-chrome-downloads.html]]></description>

went through each step in sequence and solution #3 worked for my son&#039;s Lenovo T470 :-)
From tears and upset thinking he&#039;d lost everything to a big hug and a happy 11yr old again :-)
Just remember there are 2 x internal batteries to remove as well as the external ;-)
30 seconds holding the power button once all batteries removed and hey presto, it came back to life. Just had to reset the date and time on start-up and all seems to be working fine again.

Solution #3 – Fully Drain All Power (internal batteries)
Completely drain all power from the laptop – some disassembly required.

- Unplug power
- Remove bottom cover (search Youtube for a removal guide for your model) - 
be careful, I broke 2 small plastic retaining pins towards the back lip where the external battery was. But case clipped back on fine, thankfully
- Remove both removable (external) and both internal Batteries (coin and large flat one)
-Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds (this was sufficient)
- Replace batteries, return bottom cover (it clicks back in then screw down)
- Plug in and Power on (fingers crossed ;-)]]></description>
