Some PCs include a BIOS option that allows them to automatically restart or return to their previous state after a power outage.
Manufacturers use different names for this setting, including:
- Restore on AC/Power Loss
- AC Power Recovery
- After Power Loss
- Power-On after Power Failure
- Restore AC Power Loss
- Last State (some motherboards restore the previous state before the outage)
Depending on the manufacturer, this option is usually found under:
- Power Management
- Advanced Settings
- ACPI Configuration
- APM Configuration
