Even with Fast startup diseabled, it remain a certain hibernation function (hiberfil.sys). Desactivating the Hibernation service fix this problem. Hibernation service is anyway not so important, above its a big memory hog, because duplicate every process to use it as backup if you shut down the system, so if you boot again are also booting this processes, apps or what yo had open before. But in change, it slows down the whole system. At least in my Windows it works as it should. Cold boot last a little longer, but with an SSD are only seconds. PS, instead of the Control panel, use the GodMode function which Windows has

  • Create a new folder in the Desktop or anywhere

  • Rename it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

(instead of GodMode you can use any other name, but you can't change what's beyond the point)

Done, the folder has change its icon and when you open it, you have an ordered list with access to all possible Windows settings (more than 200), even those that are hidden. As say, something like a Control panel on steroids.

Whoa, this is my first time doing this, thank you very much! This should honestly be a default app in Windows.

I'll look for that hiberfil.sys as soon as possible. I'm not really concerned about boot time at all. I boot from an SSD, so it probably won't take too long, but even if it did it would be worth having more control over my system.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this help. Thank you very, very much!

It's a default app since Vista. Windows has a lot of functions and apps, but most of these lacks of documentation. You'll find a lot of apps in the system and system32 folder, but all with a not intuitive name, eg eudcedit is an editor to design own fonts, but there are over 300 more and the only way to know what they do is searching all of them one by one in the web. Adding also a lot of commandline commands. Windows easy and intuitive, LOL., nice joke.
