Windows 10: BSOD every cold start

Fast startup is the opposite of a cold start, meaning it has nothing to do with the issue this thread was started with.

I beg to differ. Fast Startup under windows 10 is what happens from a cold start (if enabled) in order to speed up boot time. It cured my BSOD from a cold start and therefore seems entirely relevant.
Did you read the attached link ?

 

No need to read the link, I know how fast startup works and what the pros and cons are because I have troubleshoot fast startup issues in the past.

I think we have a different definition of a cold start if I read you correctly.
My definition of a cold start is a boot process where fast startup is disabled, AFAIK this definition of a cold start is for many others the same. Basically a startup where the kernel and everything needs to be initialized without the use of a pagefile that holds all data.

 

I think you're being pedantic.
Technically what you say is true but what most people (after trawling through many websites) mean by BSOD after cold start mean that their computer crashes when they switch on first thing in the morning but doeasn't during subsequent re boots, therefore, in this instance my definition is the correct one (although perhaps not technically correct...)
Anyway, i came here in order to help people find a solution, they can try it, if it works great, if not they can revert to fast start in about 2 minutes.
i don't really think that your harangue helps anyone (except maybe your ego) and muddies the waters...

 

I don't care much about what most mean to say with a cold startup if it isn't it's true nature, because it is the technical part that is important with troubleshooting BSODs.

It is only an explanation.....
