Windows 10: Can't Turm off Fast Boot and/or Hibernation(?)

Running up to date Windows 10 Home. I have tried the registry settings, what the power button does via Control Panel and turned Fast Boot off in my bios but still win10 boots within seconds (running SSD). I would like to have the whole os to shut down when I power down. Any advice appreciated as this is very frustrating.

hibernate and fast start


I am having trouble with hibernate and fast start. I found in one article in the forum that stated:

• If you disable hibernate, fast startup will also get disabled.

​Does the opposite hold true then: If hibernate is enabled, fast startup is also enabled?

Using Group Policy Editor:

Note: This option for using group policy is only available in the Windows 10 Pro editions.

• Press Windows Key + R combination and put gpedit.msc in
  Run dialog box.
• In the left pane navigate to:

• Now look in the right pane, you’ll got the policy named Require use of fast startup as shown above.
• Double click on this policy to get the window shown below.
