How to Enable or Disable Fast Startup on Windows 11

AjayBy AjayMay 29, 2022
windows 11 fast startup

Since Windows 8, a feature called fast start-up has been added to Windows that helps your PC start up faster after shutdown. Fast start-up works by saving a part of your PC’s kernel session and device drivers to a special file on your hard disk so that they don’t need to be reloaded when you start up your PC.

When you shut down your PC, Windows 11 automatically saves your kernel session and device drivers to a file. When you start up your PC, Windows 11 loads your kernel session and device drivers from the file, so that your PC can start up faster.

If you have a fast start-up enabled, your PC will start up faster after shutdown. However, you will not be able to use your PC’s hibernation feature.

Enabling Fast Start-up setting Using Command Prompt

In some cases, the enable/disable fast startup option may be missing from the powercfg menu in which case you will not be able to use the feature. To enable fast startup settings on your Windows 11 device, follow these steps.

  1. Open the Command Prompt by clicking on Start and typing cmd into the search bar.
  2. Type powercfg.exe /hibernate on and press Enter.
    powercfg.exe hibernate on
  3. Close all open programs and windows.
  4. Click on Start and then click on the Power icon.
  5. Click on Hibernate. Your computer will now enter hibernation mode.
Note: This is only going to make your settings visible and is not going to enable fast startup on your device.

Enabling/disabling Fast Start-up in Windows 11 From Control Panel

Control Panel was the default go-to settings before the Settings app was made a thing in Windows OS. However, the control panel still provides a greater range of service customization than the Settings app.

  1. Go to the Start menu and search Control Panel.
  2. Click on System and Security.
  3. Go to Power options.

The Registry Editor allows the user to view, create, and modify keys and values in the Registry.

We recommend you to make a backup of your registry before making any changes to it.
