Depending on drivers, maybe more. But no where near the gain as older HDD. Is Fast Start Up the reason my previously used apps are automatically re-opened upon reboot? It's super annoying when I want a clean slate. It's a dumb feature they decided to add to the Fall Creator's Update. Optional or forced? Optional but on by default since it benefits most users. What I don't like is that the setting that controls it is not obvious or really noted, and it's tied to another setting so they are either both off or both on.
To disable, go into the Settings, then Accounts, then Sign-in options. Toggle off the Privacy option that says "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after and update or restart".
Another side effect of this setting being on is that whenever you reboot, the account that initiated the reboot will automatically have logged in session after a reboot. If I am user U3 and initiate a reboot, when the system comes back online U3 automatically gets their profile logged in you don't see this, it just happens in the background and you still have a logon screen you must authenticate through.
You can see this using Task Manager and looking at the Users tab. It's not a huge deal but I when I first noticed this I thought I had some malware or remote infection on my system. Very annoying when it remount a Truecrypt drive automatically because I didn't unmount it before shutdown because shutdown used to unmount it before.
I wonder if this is why since the fall creators update my surface book drains battery and is warm in my bag again.
I remember disabling this a while back. Yup, this is exactly why Fast start-up is used when you click the shut down option In Windows. The kernel is hibernated and system is powered off. What you are probably talking about is "sleep". Contrary to what was written in this article. I have noticed that apps eventually start to act odd if you go days with Fast Startup on. That prompted me to disable the feature, and I've been commenting on posts since the early days of Windows 10 that major updates always reset the setting and default back to turning it On.
I disable Fast Boot, but I Hibernate my PC most of the time, though at least once a week I'm forced to do a Restart to refresh apps that eventually get bogged down Carbonite mainly now , or the UI starts to act funny like when you hover over Taskbar pinned icons and the highlight remains even after moving the cursor away. I had issues with this when this option was turned on in Windows 10 Fall Creators update.
Please resume and shutdown Windows fully no hibernation or fast restarting Hello, unfortunately, at the key moment I cannot follow the instructions because there is no "Turn on startup" nor "hibernate" option There are only "Sleep" and "Lock" tickmarks. Is there an alternative way to acces this setting? Any update? Did the fast startup option appear? The same by me! Only sleep and lock available. I'll try the link of DSR11 and switch off "automatically start up after update" because I also understand that there is no use for it when having a fast SSD.
If what I am getting is a "fast" startup, then I would hate to see the alternative. Someone needs a SSD. I did a clean install of windows 10 and finished installing all drivers and software and now my pc takes 3 mins to wake up from sleep. It wakes up it just doesnt decide to turn the monitors on until then.
Another version of Windows, another silly three-click process just to shut down your PC. Here are some faster alternatives. Rick Broida is the author of numerous books and thousands of reviews, features and blog posts.
He lives in Michigan, where he previously owned two escape rooms chronicled in the ebook "I Was a Middle-Aged Zombie". It must be a point of pride in Redmond that even after all these years, you still have to click "Start" to shut down your computer.
Granted, the Start button is no longer labeled that way, having evolved into a Windows-logo button back in Vista. But that's still what it's called , and still how Microsoft refers to it.
So even in Windows 10, you have to click "Start" to shut down your PC. Then you click Power, and finally Shut Down. I'll never understand why Microsoft has steadfastly refused to add a one-click Shut Down button to the desktop. Fortunately, there are faster ways to turn off your computer. When you're ready to shut down your PC, why not just press the power button? Why not, indeed! Except that on most computers, that button comes preprogrammed to do something else: put the machine into sleep mode.
