How to Check if last Boot was from Fast Startup, Full Shutdown, or Hibernate in Windows 10?

Windows 10 has three Startup Options, one is the Hybrid Startup, the Full Shutdown and the Hibernate mode. By default the Hybrid Startup is selected. It does not fully shutdown the computer but keeps it in a standby mode so that the computer resumes itself very quickly during the next boot session. The hibernate mode is an energy saver mode, which takes the computer to sleep. The following tutorial will help you to check if your last boot session was fast startup, full shutdown or hibernate.

Steps to Check if Last Boot was from Fast Startup, Full Shutdown, or Hibernate in Windows 10
