I mean, isn't that one of the first things that you do, go to control panel power settings, advanced, change what power buttons do, advanced, shut off Fast Boot?

The default behavior is for the pc to stay powered-up behind the scenes.


(If you want 'off' to mean actual power-down, then you need to implement the above.)

I have watched a lot of Jay2Cents videos. He makes a lot of mistakes and misses simple things. His expertise was always building custom water cooler systems. These young kids on youtube think he is a guru and expert.

Jayz has never been very detail oriented.

I don't think I've ever switched off Fast Boot in the BIOS. In Windows, definitely (unless it's a HDD booter). Are there any definite advantages of switching off Fast Boot in the BIOS?

It's one of the first things I disable, growing up I loved the loading screens on the Commodore 64, Spectrum XZ, Atari, DOS, etc...

I always do a powercfg -h off command.

But do all you guys also disable it on laptops? Hibernate sort of make sense for laptops and tablets.

You realise that also kills hybrid sleep, being a safeguard for sleep mode whereby the contents of RAM are saved to disk first? If the computer loses power during sleep mode, the contents of RAM can be loaded from disk to recover the Windows session.
