    Looking for a way on how to disable fast startup in Windows 10? Here your search ends. In this post, you will find out step by step tutorial on how to do that.

    how to disable fast startup in windows 10

    Windows 10 the latest version of Windows launched by Microsoft comes with lots of features to improve the performance of the system. One out of them is Fast Startup.

    In case, the Windows 10 PC taking lots of time to boot up, then you can take help of this feature to speed up things along. Now you might be wondering how Fast Startup feature achieves that thing. Right?

    How Fast Startup Work in Windows 10

    When you turn off your Windows 10 PC, the system creates an image of drivers and loaded kernel in the file named as hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys). The next time system startup up after the shutdown, it just reloads the same hiberfile and makes your system boot faster. Even much faster than hibernate

    The Fast Startup feature is a combination of the elements of hibernate and cold shutdown features. It works similar to the hybrid sleep mode feature available in the earlier version of Windows.

    No doubt Fast Startup is a useful feature, but sometimes condition comes when users want to disable it. Some of the popular circumstances are:

    • The system does not support hibernation also lack Fast Startup functionality. So it is a good idea to experiment whether the system is working fine or not.
    • When Fast Startup is enabled the system lock down the Windows hard disk. Due to this reason, users won’t be able to gain access to it from the operating system. The scenario can become worse if the system is configured for dual boot.
    • Depending on the configuration of the system, the user will not be able to gain access to UEFI/BIOS setting when turning off the system with Fast Startup feature enabled.

    In case, you’re not facing any of the issue discussed above; then you can keep the Fast Startup enabled. There is nothing wrong with it.
