Abnormal shutdowns with Fast Startup enabled

Thanks Sumit - No, as you say, it's an Intel: i5 (8th gen - 8250U) with Intel UHD 620 graphics, 8 GB RAM and an SSD. I'll have a try with Dell as you suggest. These abnormal shutdowns are definitely not random - they happen on almost all attempts at a
Fast Startup shutdown, though occasionally shutdown and subsequent startup do succeed. Oddly, full hibernate works correctly.

 

Abnormal shutdowns with Fast Startup enabled

Hello - I recently (18/6/2018) set up a new laptop(Dell Vostro 5370) which for the most part is running well, but Reliability History shows frequent "Windows was not properly shut down" events, which a sleep study report from powercfg shows are associated
with transitions into what the sleep study labels as "Shutdown (hybrid)". There are corresponding critical Kernel-Power event ID41 entries in Event Viewer. Turning off Fast Startup seems to work round the issue, but it would be good not to have to do this.
As well as updating everything in sight I have tried the usual checks with DISM and sfc, and run the hardware checks in Dell's SupportAssist, but they show no problem. I have also run the Boot Performance (Fast Startup) assessment in the Windows Assessment
Toolkit, but this just reports that it cannot complete the assessment owing to a system crash. Can anyone suggest any other troubleshooting steps, or remedies? Thanks...

 

Ssd and fast startup

Hello Frost,

Fast startup doesn't inherently cause harm to SSDs.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

1. Fast startup involves saving the current state of your system to the hard drive during shutdown, which could involve some additional write operations. While modern SSDs are designed to handle a large number of writes, frequent use of fast startup might contribute to wear over time.
   
2. Fast startup can affect how updates are applied. Sometimes, updates require a full shutdown and restart to be fully installed. With fast startup enabled, these updates may not apply correctly unless a full restart is performed.
   
3. Regularly restarting your laptop (instead of using fast startup) can help clear out temporary files and refresh system processes, potentially improving overall performance.
   

• Disable Fast Startup: Consider disabling fast startup if you're concerned about SSD wear or if you encounter issues with updates not applying correctly.
  
• Regular Restart: Schedule regular restarts to ensure your laptop's performance remains optimal and to allow updates to install correctly.
  

Keeping your SSD healthy involves a balance between usage patterns and regular maintenance, but fast startup itself isn't typically a major concern unless it's causing specific issues for your setup.
