No, we don't use fast startup.
No, we don't use fast startup.
I'm working with it smoothly, and when I need a proper boot, I simply say "restart."
It's never something I needed to consider. Whether on or off, the default has consistently functioned well.
For me, the quick startup option is largely unnecessary these days, unless you're among the rare individuals who still boot from a physical disk. In that scenario, keep it running but seek assistance if needed. The quick startup function was something Microsoft should have introduced during the Windows XP or Vista periods. It would have been useful at the time, when storage devices were large enough to support hibernation files, yet most users relied on hard drives. Today, with solid-state drives, it adds unnecessary complexity because many believe shutting down equals restarting. I've witnessed numerous situations where someone suggests "restart the computer" and the user replies "I tried that and it didn't help." Eventually, they open Task Manager and discover the system has been running for months, indicating their 'reboot' was actually a 'shutdown.' Even a family member used to treat 'Shut Down' as a stronger reboot method in the past, since he needed to leave the machine off for extended periods to fully reset it. He believed that doing so was more effective than simply restarting.
