WINDOWS QUICKBOOT DRIVERS

The first argument goes in the direction that the hiberfil.sys hibernation file becomes simply huge by storing the kernel image on machines with a lot of RAM.

He writes that if you have a fast computer with SSD /NvME under Windows 10, you should consider disabling quick boot. Blog reader Karl has taken up the topic of quick start (Fast Boot) in a series of tweets and has written some comments on it together. At startup, the system is ready to work again much faster than with conventional booting Problems with multibootīut there are also disadvantages of the quick start, especially in multiboot environments with Windows 10. The advantage of this approach is that when changing to hibernation mode, much less data has to be backed up than under Windows 7 hibernation mode (on Windows 7, the application images from memory are also backed up to the hibernation file).

But then the Windows kernel is not stopped, as in Windows 7, but from Windows 8 on, the operating system writes parts of the RAM with the image of the kernel in a file during shutdown.Īt the next boot the saved system status (memory image, process status) is read back from the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys) and the drivers are reinitialized if necessary.

Before shutting down, Windows 8.1 – 10 terminates all running applications and closes the user session. During shutdown Windows uses a trick to speed up the next startup. The so called 'Fast Boot' was introduced in Windows 8 to shorten the time needed to start the system.
