What is Fast Start?
Fast Startup is a Windows 10 feature designed to reduce the time it takes for the computer to boot up from being fully shut down. However, it prevents the computer from performing a regular shutdown and can cause compatibility issues with devices that do not support sleep mode or hibernation.
How to disable Fast Startup:
- Open settings
- Click on System
- Click on Power and Sleep on the left hand side
- Click on "Additional power settings"
- Click on the "Choose what the power buttons do" option on the left
- Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
- Uncheck the "Turn on Fast Startup (Recommended)" tick box
- Click Save Changes
- Close all open settings screens
