Quick tip: If you use the normal shutdown option, hold shift to do an instant clean shutdown!

Fast startup uses power while the computer is shut down. So this is a good tip for laptops since fast startup can cause the battery to drain much faster when the laptop is unused for a while.

You can also turn off the Hybernation.

If I remember, holding shift when pressing the shut down button also does it. Not sure if shift + U will perform the same function though

Excellent advice! I wish that Fast Startup was disabled by default.

Does this impact the recovery of documents which are open at the time of shut down?

Please define what you mean by a “clean” start and system?

I certainly could be wrong here but wasn't Fast Startup disabled by default on Windows 10: Did Windows 11 revert to their old ways on this again?! So annoying if they did....

Wow people actually have to type "control panel" because the new UI start menu doesn't have it obviously 😂

Leila, I am struggling to use mail merge to load a list of clickable links from excel into word. I could not find anything on the topic and thought it might be a good video for you.
