Fast startup
I tend to leave windows 10 mostly at default settings. So I keep fast start up enabled on my desktop. I do have an SSD but it is convenient and shaves a few seconds of reboot i guess. However I want to know whether it relies on a power source? What I mean by this is, is my pc although shutdown is always connected to a switched on power source which is actually a UPS. when I switched off the UPS once to move my whole pc setup and re connected everything the next time I booted my pc it went through a full on restart. When I checked reliability history it claimed windows was not properly shutdown. Seemed puzzling. It happened again the other day when i noticed my toddler had been button pressing and switched the ups off. Upon powering the desktop back up windows again relayed message about not being properly shutdown. So I wonder if windows using fast startup still relies on a trickle power source even though it appears to be shutdown
kind of hard to explain but I hope that made sense
