Windows 10: Fast Startup Failure (Windows 10 1903)

Hi all


I've been having an issue with Windows 10 reporting an error with 'fast startup failing', it lists a critical 'Kernel power - system' error of 41.


The error log meanwhile lists the kernel-boot and error '29', with the text reading 'Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC00000D4.'


I've managed to resolve this so far on this mostly brand new computer by clearing the prefetch folder, and it seems to correlate directly with how long it's been since a windows update, for about a month it remained fine, and recently it's begun occurring, whether with an interval of two or six days. Recently I noticed that when it last occurred the prefetch folder was missing 'layout.ini', and restoring this did not fix it, however clearing the log and waiting for it to return did.


My computer is an Asus gaming pc, and I did have to use the windows update assistant to update it to 1903, is it perhaps something software based I merely need to wait to be updated, or should I contact support for those I have insurance with?


Thanks in advance for any advice!

:)
