Disable Fast Start-Up Option Windows 10.

If you haven't read my previous post how Windows 10 Fast Start-Up works Please Click HERE

In newer versions of Windows (8,8.1 and 10) Microsoft has introduced the new method of shutdown, called Hybrid Shutdown. This feature is enabled by default, and it decreases the PC’s shutdown time. Hybrid Shutdown decreases the shutdown time by hibernating the kernel session, instead of completely closing it. When the PC is powered on again, the kernel session is revoked from the hibernation, so it decreases the booting time as well.

But besides increasing the performance, Hybrid Shutdown feature may also cause some errors or even prevent Windows from shutting down completely. When this happens, many computers freeze or hang when you try to shut them down, and reason for this is that Hybrid Shutdown is enabled by default. So, logically, to solve this issue, you’ll need to disable this feature. When you disable it, the kernel session won’t be hibernated on shutdown anymore, but it will be completely closed. This might increase the shutting time of your PC, but the problem will definitely be solved.

Solution 1: Disable Hybrid Shutdown Manually

Follow these steps to manually disable the Hybrid Shutdown feature:

1. Go to Search, type “power options” and click on Power Options from search results
2. On the left side of the window click on Choose “what the power button does”
3. If needed, click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable”, under Define power buttons and turn on password protection
4. From the enabled options under Shutdown settings section, uncheck “Turn on fast startup (recommended)” checkbox to disable Hybrid Shutdown.
5. Click Save changes button to save the modified settings.
6. Close Power Options window when done.

Solution 2: Perform A Full Shutdown

Another way to turn off your computer without Hybrid Shutdown is to perform a full shutdown, to do that, follow these steps:

• Right-click on your Desktop.
• Go to New, and click on Shortcut.
• For “Type the location of the item,” input this:

shutdown -F -T ## -C “Your message here” (## can be any number from 0 and 315360000, and “Your message here” could be any text you want))

• Click Next.
• Name the shortcut by your wish
• Right-click the shortcut on from your desktop and click Properties.
• Change the icon of the shortcut by your desire, just for the aesthetic reasons
• Pin the shortcut to your start menu and you’re good to go
