@all guys, please remember that the Windows Fast startup feature is an evil and needs to be destroyed by all means

Any specific issues you experienced besides incorrectly stating how long the PC has been on? "Fast startup is just storing some of the system processes in a cached state and then booting it into memory quickly the next time the system boots. It greatly improves the startup times on HDD. One downside that I have noticed is that the available memory on boot decreases with time as you use your PC without restarts/proper shutdown(i.e. the available memory after 10th fast startup without any restart/proper shutdown in between will be lesser than what you got on first cold boot). It can be easily fixed by restarting your PC once in a while(which essentially cleans up the hybrid startup's disk image/cache)."

The fast startup is actually a rebranded hibernation which is known to mess with dental software as well as the hardware. Since for a lot of our clients rebooting actually means shut it down and turn it back on, the PC does not get refreshed
