Poll Do You Use Fast Startup on Windows 11?

I think Veracrypt's autodismount may not work properly when it is on.

No. If it isn't managed by the motherboard, I don't mess with it.

Just checking Windows 11 Event Viewer and have been getting the following event warning message in the log:

The maximum file size for session "ReadyBoot" has been reached. As a result, events might be lost (not logged) to file "C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl". The maximum files size is currently set to 20971520 bytes.

I'm guessing this is Fast Startup related? The Maximum file size of Readyboot is the default 20MB but Cons of disabling it or should I just increase the value?

I'll do a sfc /scannow anyway just to see if there's any system file errors.

I disable it even with my M2 drive. I've read from more experienced users on various forums that it's best disabled. I also disable hibernation. Less problems.

Same here.

Immediately after fresh Windows installation, fast startup is getting disabled on my PC. SSDs are so fast that the chances are you won't feel any difference whatsoever. Fast startup and hibernation are only here because a lot of PCs still use HDDs and those two definitely help those PCs boot faster.

@oldschool @Marko :) Thanks both. It was really easy to disable and I noticed no different in reboot or shut down and reboot startup time
