Today, a small partner asked about how to optimize a startup on Windows 10. Xiao Bian believes that besides spending money to replace an SSD, there are also system-level settings worth exploring. In particular, the "Fast Startup" feature introduced in Windows 10 is something many users may not be aware of. Let’s take a closer look today.
Fast Startup is a unique startup mode in Windows 10. Compared to the traditional boot process of Windows 7, it can significantly speed up the startup time—often by over 30%. This makes it a valuable feature for users looking to save time and improve efficiency.
In reality, Fast Startup combines elements of sleep mode and logging out. When you shut down your PC, instead of fully powering off, Windows saves the current session state to a hibernation file on the hard drive. On the next boot, the system reads this file, loads it into memory, and resumes where you left off. This process is faster than a full shutdown but slower than waking from sleep.
Tip: Sleep mode saves the data currently in use to memory and powers down most components. You can wake the computer at any time using the keyboard, mouse, or power button. While it's quick, it doesn't fully power off, which might not be ideal for energy-saving purposes.
Fast Startup works similarly to sleep mode, but with an added step: it logs out the user before entering sleep. When you start the PC again, the system performs a quick self-check, loads the hibernation file into memory, and logs you back in. This results in a much quicker boot-up compared to a standard shutdown.
By default, Fast Startup is enabled in Windows 10. If you're using it, you may notice that after shutting down, the indicator light on your PC doesn’t turn off immediately like in Windows 7. Instead, it takes a moment as the system writes memory data to the hibernation file. This happens automatically, so no action is needed from you. However, if you’re very conscious about energy savings, you might want to wait until the light is completely off before unplugging the device.
If you prefer not to use this feature, you can disable it easily. Right-click the power icon in the taskbar (usually located in the bottom-right corner), then select "Power Options." From there, choose "Choose what the power buttons do" on the left side. You’ll see an option labeled "Enable fast startup," but it may be grayed out. Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable" and uncheck the box to disable it.
Server
In the digital age, servers (Server Computer) as the core of enterprise IT architecture, play a key role in data processing, resource storage and task scheduling. Whether it is local deployment or cloud expansion, choosing the right server solution can significantly improve business efficiency and security. The following is an analysis of the four core scenarios and technical advantages for you:
Â
1. Linux Server: Open source power, stable and efficient
The Linux server operating system is known for its open source, flexibility and high security, and is an ideal choice for Web services, database management and development environments. It supports customized configuration and low-cost operation and maintenance, and is suitable for diverse needs from start-ups to large data centers. With high-performance hardware such as Supermicro Servers, it can further unleash its potential and achieve 7x24 hours of stable operation.
Â
2. Supermicro Servers: Benchmark for enterprise-level hardware
Supermicro servers are known for their modular design, high-density computing and excellent energy efficiency. Its solutions cover edge computing to AI training scenarios, support multi-processors, GPU acceleration and hot-swappable components, and meet the company's stringent requirements for scalability and reliability. Whether building a private cloud or a hybrid IT architecture, Supermicro is the only choice for hardware cornerstones.
Â
3. Traditional Computer Server: A solid backing for local deployment
Physical servers are suitable for data-sensitive industries or scenarios that require low-latency responses (such as financial transactions and industrial control). Through local deployment, enterprises can fully control hardware resources, combine virtualization technology to achieve resource pooling, and balance performance and cost.
Â
4. Cloud-Based Server: Elastic expansion, empowering the future
Cloud servers break physical limitations and provide elastic computing power on demand. AWS, Azure and other platforms support minute-level resource expansion, combined with containerization and microservice architecture, to help enterprises quickly respond to traffic peaks and global business layout. At the same time, cloud services integrate disaster recovery, security monitoring and other tools to reduce the complexity of operation and maintenance.
