    My system shuts down in less than 5 seconds when I click shut down but takes nearly a minute to shut down if I click restart.

    Anybody know how I can fix this?

    Thanks

    Shutting down on later Windows versions is more like hibernation. Are you using an SSD?

    turn off fast startup. it one of the first things I do, along with disabling hibernation

    Surely that will just slow down shutdowns? With an NVME, hibernation is ultra-quick.

    IMO They should make restart default behavior the same as shutdown. 99% of the time you don't want to reset your kernel. For the 1% of the time that you do, we just need a new reset option.

    hiberboot introduces so many issues with windows, its not worth the extra shutdown speed
     
  8. hybrid shutdown vs hard shutdown (lookup registry entries for it)

    far as slow restarts - play with msconfig - iso to ms services and component iso until you find whatever is holding your machine up.

    no it actual made things slower which is why I turn it off, and seeing I dont use hibernations or any of that sleep stuff I dont care for what the function does. what 10 seconds to start the pc from first boot to desktop usability to slow or something? reboot and shut downs takes seconds for me, with it off with it on it was double. Every pc I left Fastboot on has had extend reboot/shutdown times, and turned off it much quicker and this is with SSD

    This is another reason why dont use that stuff

    When I go to shutdown my pc I want to shutdown and when I reboot my pc I want to reboot and usual for good reason, I dont want it to remeber what I was last doing and save things so i all opens up again. I even turn off that in windows function that restore open programs upon reboot cause I hate that too.

    I switched off fast startup. Shut down takes a little longer but hasn't helped at all with restarts.

    Thanks, I'll have a look

    there has to be something causing restart to hang and take longer. which make me wonder if you have some sort hibernation or sleep going that save the state of the system instead of restarting, I have all that stuff turned off iin windows and some of it disable in bios.

    Hell it could stray app that got update which interacting with the system in a bad way. I remeber years back I had issue where my startup and shutdown/restart took twice as long cause Avast and it took Avast 2 years to fix it. which was also related to fast startup but turn fast startup off didnt solve the issue just reduce the bootup/restart/shutdown times, only when Avast fix there crap or I remove avast did that issue go away, but for me I have faster bootups and shutdowns and restart with that off.

    That would make a restart meaningless, since it wouldn't restart the OS. It would just do a pause/resume.

    Agreed, except if like me, you wanted to change a BIOS setting and don't need to restart the kernel.

    I'm pretty sure the kernel should always be restarted when there's BIOS settings changes, otherwise you'd end up with in-kernel UEFI variables that are out of sync.

    OK yes, sounds like that could cause issues, it will happen however if people shutdown (with fast boot enabled) and then make BIOS changes, so maybe it's a use-case that M$ have accounted for?

    I've been doing it all week as I mess around with my new system. Generally it was OK, Windows didn't seem affected apart from 1 time where Heaven just wouldn't run after an OC failure. The fix was to do a restart, not a shutdown.

    I have to disable Fast Start to be able to get into UEFI without rebooting.

    Aside from changing hardware, I've never had any issues related to Fast Start being enabled so exactly what problems is it supposed to cause?

    Hold the shift key while shut down or hit restart,,,,Same thing....it will be a longer restart though!

    everything is clear.

    It isn't nice with a number of drivers for networking / wifi, XFI issues,
    on and off Windows bugs (some noted on the dashboard right now). (Gamma/night light, etc)
    Doesn't support WOL/WWoLAN,


    Since it is literally just a partial Hibernation, the usual issues that go with hibernation are there.

    Depending on the software you have installed, you might not even realist the feature is disabled.

    PerfectDisks boot loader disables it
    Acronis WD edition disables it (or more accurately, the scheduler does)

    I could sit here all day posting up windows build and system specific fast startup related topics, but that'd be a pita.
