Windows 10 Fast Boot screw up....

Maybe this will help some people here.

Windows 10 had turned "FAST BOOT" on in your settings a while back. LONG story short, when you do a "SHUTDOWN", it sort of HIBERNATES instead, leaving your gummed up corrupted memory "kernal" STILL a hot mess the next time power it back on. A actual RESTART should take care of it.

I mention because it could be secretly affecting how well Vegas runs on your system. I've turned it off and never looked back.

WINDOWS 10 SEARCH: Power & Sleep
> Additional Power Settings
> Choose what the power buttons do
> Change settings that are currently unavailable
> UNCHECKMARK: Turn on fast startup

Your next SHUTDOWN will clean house, and you won't be dealing with a potentially corrupted hibernate loaded system.

if you have not implemented this, your windows 10 is a time bomb. It's not just my own computer. I do computer support and it has resolved much in my company. my brother's international company (top 10 in the world) hadn't implemented it and his laptop took 20 minutes to boot. I did this to it and it booted in a minute or two. It is THAT important. A simple RESTART may or may not be effective against this issue. I stopped looking into that part since I no longer care, since this fix is so easy.

Good catch. A performance thief, for sure.

Also worth noting that this has to be disabled in order for WOL to work. (Hense had it disabled since as long as I can remember).

Actually nowadays it is "in most cases" this has to be disabled but it is always one of the first things I do on a new system. Along with disabling Hibernation completely (powercfg.exe /hibernate off), especially when SSD drives are in play.
