The following tutorial will help you to turn on or off Fast Startup in Windows 10. It is always recommended to turn on Fast Startup because the Fast Startup is actually a hybrid session which saves only the kernal session and device drivers (system information) to the hibernate (hiberfil.sys) file on disk. This method saves huge space and refrains your computer from a complete cold boot which takes longer time. But there are times when you need a cold startup for your computer. You can then turn off the feature.
