Windows 10: Fast Start-Up in Windows 10

Does this feature still exist in Windows 10.

I ask because during the preview builds, I turned this off under Power Plan options to dismount all drives when shutting down to make sure that when I dual booted back into Windows 7, this operating system didn't see a 'dirty bit' & perform a chkdsk.

I've upgraded Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro & still occasionally boot into the preview build 10240. I now getting disk errors when booting between the 2 builds with disk errors being reported & a chkdsk being performed.

These leaves a directory entry called 'found.000/found.002' in the reported HD. Is it safe to remove this after taking ownership?

Is there an option to turn off 'Fast Startup' in the retail version of Windows 10?

UPDATE:

Just found this: Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Although I didn't see the option to turn this off here but used the registry editor to disable.





But now have it disables:

Hi Mahmoud,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the below method and check if it helps.

Method 1:

Kindly Wipe out/delete the files in the folder
C:\Windows\Prefetch (Tip: Press the Windows +R keys on the keyboard and type
%windir%\Prefetch and hit enter). These are the files used to speed up the OS boot, but probably some were corrupted and generated the issue preventing the Fast boot to work.

Note: Delete every file and folder inside Prefetch folder except
Layout.ini file. With this you may totally able to resolve the issue.

Method 2:

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.

I would suggest you to refer the below Microsoft help article on How to Perform Clean boot.

The steps for Windows 8.1 applies well to Windows 10 also.

Disclaimer: Please reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot by referring above article.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.
