Windows 11 is the latest version of the world's most popular operating system, used by more than 2 billion people. Windows 11 features a revamped design and added features while keeping many of the useful features from its predecessor, including Fast Startup.
With Fast Startup, Windows shuts down your system faster, and then it uses what it learned about your system to start up more quickly when you turn it on. It works with both hybrid shutdown and hibernation. Using a hibernated state, it starts up faster than a Windows startup and uses less power.
So, if it helps to boot up your computer faster than the normal windows startup, then why do we need to disable it?
It's because if you have enabled fast Startup on your computer, you may face hurdles in installing updates. Apart from that, the dual boot option will be missing on your computer with Fast Startup.
To enable fast boot on your computer, follow the steps below.
The fast boot will be enabled on your computer.
If you want to disable fast boot in windows 11, follow all the above steps from 1 to 5 in a sequence like this.
Select-control panel>Hardware and Sounds>Power option>Change what the power can do>Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Then in the last step, un-check the “Turn on Fast startup” option and press apply to apply changes.
You can also turn on or off fast Startup by modifying Windows Registry. Follow the steps carefully because of the complexity of this method.
