If you're among the group of people who disable fast startup on their Windows 10 PC, you might want to recheck the settings to see if it's still off. Following the April 2018 Windows 10 update, Fast Startup was again re-enabled on my own PC, and it seems to have kicked in again following the May 2019 Update. In a post on the PC Master Race subreddit, a user pointed out that fast startup was re-enabled in a Windows 10 update following the release of the Fall Creators Update. While fast startup is a pretty harmless tool that can deliver a considerable startup speed boost, especially to PCs using hard-disk drives (HDD), some people prefer to have their PC truly shut down when they click the "Shut down" button on their PC. The speed boost comes from the Windows kernel being saved on your hard drive and loaded when booting. Why? You're logged off before the file is created, meaning your session is not recorded. A hibernation file is indeed used, although it is smaller than usual.
With fast startup enabled, choosing to shut down your PC might look like you're completely shutting things down, but in reality, your PC is entering a mix between a shutdown and hibernation. There is also a G3 power state, which is when your PC consumes absolutely no power and is completely turned off. There's no hibernation file and no saved user session. Some power is usually still routed to peripherals so that you can, say, tap your keyboard and have the PC boot.Īn S5 power state (soft off) is when your PC is shut down and rebooted completely. While hibernating, your PC will seem like it's completely off, but there will be a saved hibernation file ready to be used to boot back to where you were during your last user session. Hibernation is considered an S4 power state. VPN Deals: Lifetime license for $16, monthly plans at $1 & more
