[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1096973, member: 78686"] If you still want to keep fast startup enabled for whatever reason, you can still shutdown the PC normally just by holding down the "Shift" key while clicking the "Shut down" button to properly shutdown the system instead of hybrid shutdown aka hibernate. I saw Bitdefender employees saying on the forum that this fast startup is the reason why they are sometimes forced to perform a program update without restarting the system by disabling Bitdefender's protection for a few seconds (though they say it doesn't stop fully and also all new modules have to be kept on ram as they cannot replace some files without a restart) as most users never fully shutdown the system because of fast startup. There are other cases where restart cannot be avoided and, in those cases, they ask the user to restart but many users often even ignore that. The same sometimes also happens for Kaspersky and Microsoft Defender every time kill its process completely for a few seconds when it installs a new program update. I had a case in my VM when I ran a malware for testing and at the same time Defender was performing its program update in the background which I was unaware of, so the system became infected even though Defender had the ability to detect it after execution. So fast startup is 👎 [/QUOTE]
