1:58 tip about fast startup, if you shut down your pc with fast startup enabled, it will never actually fully power down which can cause issues for some people. restarting your pc or turning off the power supply switch on the back is the only way to do it with fast startup enabled. i'd personally recommend to keep it disabled, especially if you have an SSD.

This is worth its weight in gold. Thank you.

Great advice! I just checked Windows Update > advanced, and see a bunch of drivers and a .Net update that still need applying. Love your videos Brett. You're amazing bro. Cheers.

👍🏼 Great bonus tip! SSD seems like a bargain these days, compared with gasoline or groceries...! 🙄✌🏼😎

Good information--thanks! I had the opposite problem on my Dell laptop (just over a year old--with an SSD)--it takes a very long time for it to shut down. After watching your video the only thing I changed was the fast startup and low and behold it seems to have fixed the slow shut down. I was going to ask for help with that but when I decided to time it, it shut down almost at the same time I hit the stop watch button. Thanks for that 🌟!

i have this slow restart issue after i installed an android emulator like Bluestack, Ldplayer etc. i dont understand everytime i restarted the system it tooks 5+ minutes to shut down. i assume its because the virtual memory paging for the emulator to run, can somebody help me with this issue ? thank you

[waltermitty]

Excellent video. Will come in handy. Where did you get the fantastic wallpaper appearing as backgrounds in the video?

My boot time went from 10 secs to 30 secs, in me new laptop. Don't know what's going on. Its either the update or the memory integrity feature, that did this I feel

Slow boot, slow shutting down it usually takes 30-60mins. Can't access startup in task manager, no system restore point. What else....Microsoft office was corrupted and can not be opened. this is just a frustrating update.

[ismui]

is that mandatory internet connection to do these ?

[josepanchosolis]

So I have a new build, 4080 super, ryzen 7 7700x, 4 tb ssd and 2 tb sata ssd. I have disabled all programs I don't need at start up. I believe I've updated all drivers. But still get about a minute boot up times. What could be the problem? Something tells me it's probably the way I've installed windows and allocated partitions on main ssd could that be it? Or the sata drive that hot swamped from my old pc?

Truth about SSD storage . SSDs do transfer data fast than a classic HHD . But SSDs have a vastly shorter life span . Sectors fail after so many writes.. I have HDDs that still have zero corrupted sectors that are 25 years old, and they still are working . I have worn out an SSD in just 3 years . I suppose that is why manufacturers want SSDs now, more sales later .
