Slow Start Up & Shut Down after Win 10 Updates - a solution

Hello All,

Wanted to get the word out about a strange glitch after the last Windows Updates, After the updates, the Desktop started to start up and shut down 3-4 times slower than before. Once running, it worked just as before. Research pointed to Fast Startup not being enabled, but there was no such setting in "Power Options / Choose what the power buttons do / Change settings that are currently unavailable"

This was because Hibernate had been disabled. It was simple to get it enabled again by Right-clicking on the Start button, choosing Command Prompt (Admin) from the pop-up menu, and typing in powercfg.exe /hibernate off in the Command prompt window. On restart, start up & shut down were back to normal, & the Fast startup tick box was back where it should be.

Now I understand that Hibernate has no "place" in a Desktop, it is for if a battery is about to die in a laptop, but putting Fast Startup in the Hibernate commands does not make sense. Then if you turn this feature off on a Desktop in an update..... C'mon Microsoft!

Please Note, our three other machines (Another Desktop, a Laptop, & Win 10 under Bootcamp in an iMac) were not affected by this - just the one Dell Desktop.

We wanted to get this out to help anyone else who has this strange hiccup. Hope it helps someone!
