| 1429884 | 2016-12-15 20:00:00 | I thought Restart was the same as shutting down and rebooting but without turning the power off in between, but then I read this: "Microsoft has posted a banner warning across its entire support site that Windows 10 users with connection issues should first try and restart their PCs—a shut down and later cold boot won’t do." So what does Restart do that normal off/on doesn't? (and why isn't it called Reset) |

| 1429885 | 2016-12-15 20:26:00 | That does seem odd to me. I will wait for the input of some of our technical experts with interest. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1429886 | 2016-12-15 20:56:00 | There is the Fast Startup option that is enabled by default. This kicks in when you do a full shutdown, almost like a hibernation, so next time you power up supposedly it will start up quicker. Doing a restart doesn't do this so in effect is better than doing a full shutdown. We are turning this feature off on every single WIndows 10 machine that we work on as it just causes so many issues with no real benefits. |

| 1429887 | 2016-12-15 21:08:00 | What CYaBro said. By default windows 10 does not shut down properly, instead it resets the OS to a state which is like a fresh boot and stores that state in the hibernation file. Then on reboot instead of loading everything fresh it just loads the hibernation file to restore itself back to that state again. Restart on the other hand shuts down everything and reboots fresh, so by default now it's the better option for troubleshooting. Unless you disable fast startup they are not the same. |

| 1429888 | 2016-12-15 22:28:00 | Or unless you disable hibernation like me, that wont happen. I see no point in having it. And some sites say you dont need it / you should disable it, if you use an SSD anyway | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

With most new devices coming with a nice fast SSD this option doesn't make sense any more. And with all the issues it causes I hope that Microsoft turns it off by default at some point soon. |

I have wim 10 home and another win 10 pro, how does one turn this off, please? |

You need to go into the Control Panel - Power Options - Choose what the power buttons do - Change settings that aren't currently available - Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup. Click Save changes and then restart the computer. |
