How to disable Hybrid Shutdown in Windows with a Command Line

Hybrid Shutdown, also known as Fast Startup, is a feature in Windows that combines aspects of a traditional shutdown and hibernation to improve startup times. If you want to disable Hybrid Shutdown using the command line, you can use the powercfg command. Here's how:

1. Open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges. To do this, right-click on the Start menu, select "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows Terminal (Admin)".

2. To check if Fast Startup is enabled, run the following command:

   powershellCopy code
   powercfg /a
   
   

   If you see "Hibernation" next to "Hybrid Sleep," then Fast Startup is enabled.

3. To disable Fast Startup, run the following command:

   powershellCopy code
   powercfg /hibernate off
   
   

   This will also disable Hybrid Sleep and thus the Hybrid Shutdown feature.

4. You might also want to disable Hibernate mode to ensure that Fast Startup is fully disabled:

   powershellCopy code
   powercfg /h off
   
   

   Disabling Hibernate mode will also free up disk space used by the hibernation file.

5. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

Please note that disabling Fast Startup might cause your computer to take slightly longer to start up but can also help with troubleshooting certain issues.

Remember to use caution when modifying system settings through the command line, and make sure you have administrative privileges before executing these commands.
