Does Windows 10 fast boot make sense?

Thanks to the fast start of Windows 10, your computer starts up and shuts down much faster, but isn’t there a catch? Yes there is, here are some of the Windows 10 fast startup problems that you may encounter:

Starting and booting up the computer faster is made possible by the fact that the current system stateon the Disk is stored in the hibernation file hiberfil.sys. When starting up, this state is loaded again from the file. So Windowsis not really shutting down, but is only put into extended stand-by mode (hibernation).

• Fast-Boot makes access to the BIOS or UEFI more difficult, because

  after the start-up process, the Windows kernel is loaded almost immediately and the boot screen is almost no longer visible.

• If you have 2 operating systems (dual boot) installed on your computer, you can disable fast startup in Windows 10 to avoid problems. Problems occur with older versions of Windows and Linux without disabling Windows Fast Start. Windows 7 Dual Boot does not work by the way at all with this function.
• If you have an SSD hard drive strong>, you benefithardly by the quick start, since your SSD is already performant is enough. In addition, the quick start only costs your SSD valuable lifetime.
• Also network drivers or applications such as OneDrive have their problems with this function. By disabling quick start you save a lot of network and internet problems.
