Is there another setting I should be using in addition to this? Which power settings must I change?
Windows only seems to be easier to handle as Linux, but it isn’t, it’s quite the opposite, only the very basic settings are more at hand
So true. I’ve always assumed Linux would be beyond my comprehension, but it’s actually much less frustrating than Windows so far.
Edit: After looking around the control panel, I do see that I accidentally had “automatically restart” checkmarked under system failure, but in this case I don’t think that would have applied since it was a pending update, not a system failure.
Even with Fast startup diseabled, it remain a certain hibernation function (hiberfil.sys). Desactivating the Hibernation service fix this problem. Hibernation service is anyway not so important, above its a big memory hog, because duplicate every process to use it as backup if you shut down the system, so if you boot again are also booting this processes, apps or what yo had open before. But in change, it slows down the whole system. At least in my Windows it works as it should. Cold boot last a little longer, but with an SSD are only seconds.
PS, instead of the Control panel, use the GodMode function which Windows has
Create a new folder in the Desktop or anywhere
Rename it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
(instead of GodMode you can use any other name, but you can’t change what’s beyond the point)
Done, the folder has change its icon and when you open it, you have an ordered list with access to all possible Windows settings (more than 200), even those that are hidden. As say, something like a Control panel on steroids.
Whoa, this is my first time doing this, thank you very much! This should honestly be a default app in Windows.
I’ll look for that hiberfil.sys as soon as possible. I’m not really concerned about boot time at all. I boot from an SSD, so it probably won’t take too long, but even if it did it would be worth having more control over my system.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this help. Thank you very, very much!
These are the settings I’ve had for a long time, if that’s what you’re referring to. I thought disabling fast startup would make it completely power off when it shuts down.
