Boot Speeds With SSD?
Go to solution
Solved by Alex Atkin UK,
Fast boot remembers the state of the Windows kernel between reboots so it doesn't have to load all those tiny little files required for normal startup, which is extremely slow on a HDD. Its basically a form of hybernation.
As you found out, its generally better to leave it off with an SSD as they load small files really quickly so it can actually be faster than having it on. Plus personally I always prefer to have a clean boot as it means any instability that has developed due to running Windows for a long time gets cleared out.
