Fast Startup is a power-related feature that allows your computer to boot faster, combining hibernation and regular shutdown to accomplish quicker system startup. In other words, when the feature is enabled, the system saves the kernel, drivers, and system state to the hibernation (hiberfil.sys) file, and then the computer turns off, but without saving your desktop session and running apps. When the computer turns on, the system will load the contents from the hibernation file to resume more quickly. Although it’s a useful feature to get to the desktop faster, Fast Startup may also cause problems. For instance, it can cause conflicts when installing updates, managing storage devices with encryption, or in dual-boot systems since it won’t allow you to access the drive from the other setup. In some systems, you may not even be able to access the motherboard’s firmware (UEFI or BIOS) if Fast Startup is enabled. Whatever the problem might be, on Windows 11 or even on Windows 10, you can turn Fast Startup on or off through Control Panel or Command Prompt. This guide will teach you how to enable or disable the Fast Startup feature on Windows 11.
