I can, however, walk you through how to check it yourself \u2014 either via the Windows GUI or via command line.  \n\n---\n\nSteps to check Fast Startup status on a Windows PC:\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 Method 1: Using the Control Panel\n\n1. Open **Control Panel** (you can search for it in the Start menu).  \n2. Navigate to **Power Options** \u2192 on the left sidebar, click **Choose what the power buttons do**. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-turn-on-or-off-fast-startup/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Click **Change settings that are currently unavailable** toward the top of that window. (Administrator permissions may be required.) ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-turn-on-or-off-fast-startup/?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Scroll down to **Shutdown settings**. Look for **\u201cTurn on fast startup (recommended)\u201d**.  \n   - If the box is **checked**, Fast Startup is **on**.  \n   - If the box is **unchecked**, Fast Startup is **off**. ([majorgeeks.com](https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/how_to_turn_fast_startup_on_or_off_in_windows_10.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d Method 2: Using PowerShell or Command Prompt\n\n1. Open **PowerShell** (or Command Prompt) as an administrator.  \n2. Run this command:\n\n   ```\n   (GP \"HKLM:\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Power\").\"HiberbootEnabled\"\n   ```\n\n   - If the output is **1**, Fast Startup (also known as \u201cHybrid Boot\u201d or \u201cHiberboot\u201d) is **enabled**.  \n   - If it\u2019s **0**, it\u2019s **disabled**. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-turn-on-or-off-fast-startup/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you go through one of these methods and want help interpreting the result, feel free to tell me what you see, and I can help you decide whether it should stay on or be turned off."

I\u2019ll show you two different methods\u2014one using the Control Panel, and one using PowerShell or Command Prompt.\n\n---\n\n## Method 1: Through Control Panel (GUI)\n\n1. Press **Windows key + R** to open Run.\n2. Type `control` and press Enter to open the Control Panel.  \n3. Go to **Hardware and Sound \u2192 Power Options**.  \n4. On the left side, click **Choose what the power buttons do**. ([techbloat.com](https://www.techbloat.com/what-is-fast-startup-and-how-to-enable-or-disable-it-in-windows-10-3.html?utm_source=openai))  \n5. At the top of that page, click **Change settings that are currently unavailable** (you need admin access for this). ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-turn-on-or-off-fast-startup/?utm_source=openai))  \n6. Scroll down to the **Shutdown settings** section.  \n   - Look for a checkbox labeled **\u201cTurn on fast startup (recommended)\u201d**.  \n   - If it\u2019s **checked**, Fast Startup is **on**.  \n   - If it\u2019s **unchecked**, Fast Startup is **off**. ([techbloat.com](https://www.techbloat.com/what-is-fast-startup-and-how-to-enable-or-disable-it-in-windows-10-3.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Method 2: Using Command Prompt or PowerShell\n\n1. Search for **Command Prompt** or **PowerShell**, right-click it, and select **Run as administrator**. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-turn-on-or-off-fast-startup/?utm_source=openai))  \n2. To check whether Fast Startup is enabled, run this command:\n\n   ```\n   (Get-ItemProperty -Path \"HKLM:\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Power\" -Name HiberbootEnabled).HiberbootEnabled\n   ```\n\n   - If the result is **1**, Fast Startup is **enabled**. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-turn-on-or-off-fast-startup/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - If the result is **0**, Fast Startup is **disabled**. ([techbloat.com](https://www.techbloat.com/why-is-turn-on-fast-startup-greyed-out-on-windows-2.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. Another command you can use is:\n\n   ```\n   powercfg /availablesleepstates\n   ```\n\n   This shows which sleep or shutdown states your PC supports\u2014including whether Hibernate is available. Fast Startup depends on Hibernate being enabled. ([techyorker.com](https://techyorker.com/what-is-fast-startup-and-how-to-enable-or-disable-it-in-windows-10/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through these steps based on your version of Windows (10 or 11) to make it easier. Do you want me to do that?"
