    Restart Take Much Longer to Start Than If Started From Shutdown


    On my new HP Laptop (2.3ghz), when I start Windows 10 from a power on start, Win10 starts in about 40 seconds. When I restart, it takes about 1 minute and 35 seconds to start. Why the huge difference in the two? On each of my Win 7 machines there is just a 2 or 3 second difference.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Updates

    If you Update and Shutdown half the process takes place during shutdown and is completed as the device starts the next time. If you want to avoid this then I would either give time for the longer start or select Update and Restart.

    Critical Error: Cortana and Start not working with Windows 10 Upgrade

    Solved!! - but not a long term fix.

    Sometimes, I get a Critical Error Message that says Cortana and Start Button are not working. When I do a shut down, and startup again, the critical errors remain.

    After doing some research, I realised that Windows 10 save key data during shut down. This enabled it to start up much quicker than Win 7 or 8. However, that also means it saves its error settings and start up with errors.
    Do a RESTART instead. For some strange application reason, a restart does not save any settings and it boots up from a clean sheet. Though it takes a longer time than a shutdown and startup, I do not see that critical error anymore.

    Restart Take Much Longer to Start Than If Started From Shutdown

    Turn off Windows 10 fast startup and they both will take about 1 minute and 35 seconds to start:
    Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    The reason for the time difference is because Windows fast startup is doing what it is supposed to be doing. When you click restart, it does not use Windows fast startup and shuts down the computer 100% and starts back up from absolutely nothing. Fast startup saves a bunch of information to the hard drive that gets reloaded directly back into memory upon startup and it never really shuts down the computer 100% - it sends a flag to bios to restart by loading the file that was saved on shutdown.
