• Disable “Fast Startup”. Set the power button to Shut Down not Sleep.
• Disable any other automatically or manually started software that would consume PC resources during
operation.
• Ensure there are no domain policies that would overwrite any of the above settings.

The Tablet PC that is provided with GloMax
