😴Windows shutdown keeps the kernel in a state of sleep, allowing for fast startup
🔄Restarting the computer kills the kernel and resolves issues like slow performance
📴Fast startup can cause issues with updating apps
🔒Encrypted hard drives or dual boot systems can experience corruption with fast startup
🔌Disabling fast startup ensures a proper shutdown and avoids issues caused by the kernel being in a sleep state
Why does Windows shutdown keep the kernel in a sleep state?
—Windows keeps the kernel in a sleep state during shutdown to enable fast startup, which reduces boot time.
What issues can occur if the kernel remains in a sleep state?
—Issues like slow performance, sound or Wi-Fi connectivity problems can persist if the kernel is not properly killed.
How can I resolve slow performance issues on my computer?
—Restarting the computer kills the kernel and can resolve issues like slow performance.
Can fast startup cause problems with app updates?
—Yes, fast startup can prevent app updates from taking effect, as a full shutdown is necessary for updates to apply.
Are there any security risks associated with fast startup?
—Fast startup can cause issues with encrypted hard drives or dual boot systems, resulting in potential data corruption.
00:00Windows shutdown doesn't actually shut down your computer, but keeps the kernel in a sleep state.
01:09Issues like slow performance or connectivity problems can persist if the kernel remains in the sleep state.
01:58Restarting the computer kills the kernel, resolving these issues and providing a clean boot.
02:59Fast startup can prevent app updates from taking effect, as a full shutdown is required for updates to apply.
