But the biggest thing, which can make a HUGE, almost miraculous difference for very slow startup in Windows is to use an SSD instead of a slow old HDD. i strongly suspect that for a 20 minute startup, it won't make much difference for you, but you could experiment and try it both ways and time it and see.

I'll add this: One of the main causes of hardware failure is thermal stress. Which arises not from very high or low temperatures, but from *changes* in temperature. Faster changes in temperature cause more stress. So any shutdowns should ideally be brief. For example, your CPU may idle at 120F and jump to 150F under stress. That's a ΔT of 30F. If you turn it off and let it reach a room temperature of 70F, that's a ΔT of 50F. And if you turn your computer on and jump right into a high-load activity like gaming, your CPU may go from 70F to 150F (ΔT=80F) extremely quickly. [note: It is NOT correct to say that a ΔT of 60F is "double" a ΔT of 30F, because Fahrenheit and Celsius are not absolute scales. To find the true % increase in temperature you have to take a ratio of the temperatures scaled from absolute 0.] I'm not 100% on this next part, but I personally believe this is one reason why game consoles die so much faster than PCs. Part of it is that they're made as cheaply as possible while trying to maximize performance, certainly. But budget PCs often don't have the same short lifespans. Imo, game consoles die so fast because they get flipped between sitting cold and running games so much more often than PCs ever do. tl;dr if you need to reboot, do it quickly.

@@NiteSaiya a difference of 60F IS double a difference of 30F. Despite the fact that the scale doesn't start at absolute zero, the differences scale equivalently. A difference of 30F is exactly equivalent to a difference of 16.666K, no matter what the actual temperatures recorded are. The difference between 0F and 30F is 16.666 Kelvin, the difference between 12.5F and 42.5F is 16.666 Kelvin. Differences are double, but the actual values are not double. Look at it this way. A difference of 30°F is exactly 30R. A difference of 60°F is exactly 60R. Rankine is an absolute scale and the % increase on the 60R will be exactly double that of the 30R every time. It's the same with °C and K. It doesn't matter whether they start at absolute 0 or not if the only thing you're doing is comparing DIFFERENCES in heat and not the actual temperature values. The comparison of difference in energy is also identical to the difference in heat as long as both items compared are identical (same structure and mass)

They would run for years without any problems. You can compare it the effects of G force. If you accelerate too fast, your body will not handle it.

Just a clarification: Shutdown with Fast Startup enabled is basically like hibernating AFTER logging off. The computer saves the RAM content to HDD/SDD and FULLY turns off. When you turn it on, Windows doesn't need to load everything back up, it simply loads the hibernated state and logs in, which sometimes creates havoc with drivers and/or hardware, specially old/outdated ones. If the computer has an SSD, having Fast Startup on or off won't make much of a difference anyway, even on old hardware, so just keep it disabled.

I run a laptop from 2017, HDD, I recently disabled Fast Startup (after one incident where startup yielded INTERNAL_POWER_FAILURE when trying to log in) and I don't notice any practical difference in startup times. Hmm...
As I understand it, the original difference between sleep and hibernate is that sleep remembers your system's current state in RAM, which means it requires constant access to power to retain sleep mode. Hibernate saves your current state to the hard drive and loads that state from the drive when restarted, like with fast startup, and thus can be fully disconnected from power while hibernating and still be able to reload the state of the machine when it was told to hibernate.

I've been disabling hybrid shutdown ("powercfg -h off") for years, partly to speed up the shutdown process but mainly to reduce wear on SSDs, because with it on, every shutdown hammers ~4GB onto your boot drive, shortening its lifespan (think about it - it's more IO than a home user writes to their drive cumulatively in a typical day, happening every single time). I hadn't thought so much about the software advantages of non-hybrid shutdowns, but it makes sense. A 'true' restart is always the first diagnostic step.

Thank you for showing us how to actually shut it down properly. I had no idea this was a thing but i had noticed it took a little time despite being a very new computer I got this year and is a powrful gaming one at that!
Thank you so much for this as I did not understand the difference between all these different shutdown options. Much appreciated.

Woah, this is mind blowing. I always was using shut down to restart the kernel and was wondering why I still had a lot of hangups and performance issues until my computer was force rebooted for updates. I remember learning in the Windows 95 days that you should always do a full shut down to reset the kernel and not restart. Thank you for the video! I was getting worried there was something seriously wrong with my computer, and now everything's how I expect it to be!

Windows 95 had two restart methods. There was a warm restart where the GUI would close and it would start from DOS again (i.e. when you change the color depth of your monitor) and there was a cold reboot where you rebooted DOS and Windows. Difference was, did you the BIOS or did it only show a text mode line with something like "Restarting windows". Before ATX, even better was to shut down, wait for the Safe to power off message and hit Reset on the case, that way you were sure to have the RAM cleared. I sometimes was able to play DOS games that won't run in the DOS Box of WIn95 with sound cards that came with no DOS drivers by loading the drivers in Windows and the drivers would actually survive a cold reboot.

It's crazy. Why doesn't Microsoft include a "Full Shutdown" menu item? I understand that they want to limit options (limit clutter) wherever possible but when it results in the computer doing something different from what most users assume that it would do, that's not useful. Win11 has taken this objective so far that many things that used to be one or two clicks away are now buried. (For a long time, I've been using Win-r shutdown /s /f /t 0 when I want to fully shut down but if shift-shutdown is the same, that's faster..)

Yeah I've always disabled Fast Startup. Fast Startup also keeps drives mounted, so if you do a dual boot, it might make them inaccessible to another OS.

Thank you for this video. I had a problem with some "glitches" with my windows 10 computer and nothing I would do would fix the glitches. I took it to the local repair shop, and after $100, it was still doing the same thing. In this video, you recommend a "reset shutdown" to "kill the kernal." I am not anything close to a computer whiz but I tried it and, amazingly, the glitches were gone or fixed. I wish you had posted this video 4 months ago, you would have saved me $100. Thank you so very much!

I recently took my computer to the shop for some glitches with Windows 10 such as Desktop Windows Manager memory leak and forked out $200. After getting it back I found that Desktop Windows Manager still has a memory leak, which the only way to remedy it is to hit reset. The shop guy also tried to get me to replace the hard drive with a solid state drive for an additional $100 but I said I do believe in fixing something that is not broken.

@@SMartinTX The SSD makes the boot process a LOT faster in Windows 10; not all that different in 7. The reason is that Windows 10 is very sloppy in task management and assumes you have an SSD so it throws everything at it in parallel. SSD does not care but spin disk can really only service one task at a time and jumping among them wastes a LOT of time. When it came time to replace the hard drive in my HP laptop, that drive is no longer available so I was compelled to go SSD. Time to be ready to work went from about 30 minutes to 2 minutes. Oh, it would give me a login screen quick enough, then it would index the disk, do an antivirus sweep, stuff like that which makes the hard disk so busy that forget running a Zoom meeting until about 20 minutes have elapsed. But a fairly simple swap followed by not so simple sector for sector copy (using Linux and DD) and it works like a charm and usually I can do Zoom in two minutes from start up. Unless there's an update! SSD can and will be SLOWER than a spin disk if you are copying into it large numbers of small files.
Thank you so much for being so straight to the point.

With the operating system on an SSD, shutdowns and restarts are fast, so you won't even need the hibernate file and can be deleted with a similar command: powercfg /h /off

This actually makes alot of sense to me. I have a nice laptop and I always shut it down after use. But I have always noticed that when I turn it back on I will have some strange performance. Like frame hitching in games specifically. So I'd restart the laptop and it resolves the performance issues. So now when I start my laptop up, I always restart it one time before use. Never have issues with performance.

Just disable the fast boot option of Windows, so when you turn off you PC, it actually turns it off instead of putting it to hibernation. It will have the same effect as a restart. Go in settings > What does the power button do > options that are not visible right > And then select the proper turn off computer option.

Thanks for this video, Mr. Segev. I accidentally discovered this problem several years ago while triple booting and finding file fragments; even then it took another coincidence for me to understand what was happening. This "feature" is terribly documented by Microsoft. And for years, even after I disabled Fast Startup, Windows Update would re-enable it. Ugghhhhh! Now every time I help someone with their Windows computer, the first thing I do is to tell them what Fast Startup is and I turn it off for them. They can just use Hibernate if they like the feature. Microsoft has broken the most basic computer problem solving solution of "Turn it off and back on again". And if I can't turn off Fast Startup, I tell everyone to choose Restart instead if you ever have any computer problems. You gave a fairly comprehensive, detailed overview of the problem. The only thing you missed is telling how much of a difference Fast Reboot makes in start time. Since most people start their computers only a few times a day, I guess 30 seconds or so is not really that important. Quantifying it would have been helpful, though.
Loving this format.
As others say, Straight to the point, very informative, Actual solutions and how-to's. liked n subd.
I've found that sometimes with certain programs fast start up might cause problems. But never shutting windows down by using sleep certainly will screw it up at some point. Personally never had much of a problem shutting down with fast boot enabled, but it can break some with certain combination of things starting up. Which is probably bad programming but conflicts happens at times.

Yeah at some point, though I almost never reach that point. Normally hit an update before something breaks. Means I only get about a month between shutdowns since security update comes the second tuesday of each month. Though I have ignored it for up to a full extra month before actually updating.

Restarting allows the PC to finish updates. Shut down just tells the computer to stop everything and turn off, which is like clearing your desk off and starting a new day instead of piling more stuff on a crowded desk. Bad programming creates memory leaks, and a shutdown is the best method of clearing those up. A restart will not always release allocated memory in RAM.
I found out about this not too long ago, and I, too, thought it seemed backwards. Then I realized that, if you shut down, it's probably because you're simply finished your session at the computer, with everything working fine, and are likely to want it to boot up pretty much the same as it was when you left it. On the other hand, you generally do a restart specifically _because_ there's a problem you hope to clear up, so the full reset makes total sense.
