Fast Startup might actually be slowing your PC down
Fast Startup on Windows is meant to speed up the boot time. By putting the computer into a hibernation-like state by saving the system state to the disk, the next startup is faster than a cold boot.

Fast Startup is failing due to underlying system inconsistencies, such as corrupted hibernation files, misconfigured BIOS settings, or outdated drivers, which disrupt the boot optimization process.
