It's downloading now. Third batch of Fixes THIS MONTH, for an O.S. that's nearing it's third anniversary? Did Microsoft lose its best programmers over recent years?

After installing, rebooting and shutting down I was unable to connect to my WiFi.
Reverting back to 17134.167 got it going again, let's see if the next time it installs it breaks....

Nah, they're probably off trying to dumb down Skype a bit more....
It's not a question of liking it or not. It's a workaround for when you can't resolve a driver issue.
Problems with Fast Shutdown are likely power management issues as the drivers do not function correctly / resume after a hibernate / suspend which is essentially all Fast Shutdown is.
Fast Shutdown only gives a benefit unless you remove the bottleneck, which is the spinning HDD.
I don't like it because whatever sort of shut-down or restart I do, I want the PC to completely shut down and reload everything.
As you say, the faster starting utilises Hibernate and as such is not a REAL shut down.
Also as I have SSDs it's a bad idea to hibernate, so I don't actually use it. The reason I haven't disabled hibernation is in case I did want to use it for some reason - the last thing I want is Windows making that decision for me!
