Don't SHUT DOWN your computer!

Straight to the point. No rambling for 30 minutes. Great tutorial. I wish more instructors and educators would learn that!

It's so refreshing to find a video that just starts without the usual intro. Great stuff, really learned a lot here

Just a clarification: Shutdown with Fast Startup enabled is basically like hibernating AFTER logging off. The computer saves the RAM content to HDD/SDD and FULLY turns off. When you turn it on, Windows doesn't need to load everything back up, it simply loads the hibernated state and logs in, which sometimes creates havoc with drivers and/or hardware, specially old/outdated ones. If the computer has an SSD, having Fast Startup on or off won't make much of a difference anyway, even on old hardware, so just keep it disabled.

Brilliant! 'Hibernate' is the function I've been looking for for years. And so well explained. Great job Liron!

I've been a computer programmer for years, but I didn't know this about the shutdown process. I did notice that some led lights were still on in my computer after a 'shutdown'. Thanks for making this useful video.

I find that Fast Startup is really only useful if your computer is using one of those older mechanical hard drives rather than the more modern SSDs. SSDs are so fast there really isn't much to be gained with Fast Startup enabled.

Very simplified, but this is a great tutorial for the masses and very easy for pretty much anyone to follow with no false or missed information

I always use hibernate, but I also recommend to do a restart from time to time. Restarting can correct a lot of issues and keep your PC fresh.

Never underestimate the power of a restart. Doesn’t just apply to your computer, either.

I wish all people were like this guy, he just goes straight to the point and shows all the steps to do and the meanings for all things. No narcissistic waste of time trying to adore his own persona like if he was a celebrity.

Glad I stumbled across this video. Now my shutdown is the same as restart. There are times I want the computer OFF and also want a fresh start when it starts back up. This will save time! Thank you!!!!

I shut down my computer everytime after I finish using it for the day for 30 years already . Even when it is in use . Sometimes it is sluggish and it need a restart to refresh itself . By shutting down and start it in the morning , I have a fresh computer to use everyday .

The title can be misleading, so I’ll add this: YOU SHOULD ALWAYS shut down your computer regularly, because although the kernel doesn’t get reset other caches are, so by doing this you can avoid having issues related to running your computer for too long. Otherwise very informative video, I learned a few things.

Just run "shutdown /s /t 2". If you want to see how long it's been since a true shutdown simply run the Task Manager and look at the Performance tab with the CPU option selected. The Uptime will show how long your computer has been running since a restart or true shutdown.

Thank you for another great video. The information is very important and you are a fantastic teacher!

Thank you for bringing this up! FINALLY someone knows about this! I learned about this about 2 years ago and ABSOLUTELY HATED IT! Thanks for making a video about it!

I just discovered you sir and I have to tell you I'm hyped for you videos. No non-sense advertising, no useless intro, clear concise information. You sir are a legend! I subscribed and liked the video after only 2 minutes! Keep it up!

The guide was amazing! I love that you were straight to the point, I just have one question: Will any of these processes or methods slow down or affect gaming or programming in any way? I was looking into these things since I'm building a pc next month, I just want to see how I can make it last longer as a whole.

I found out about this a year or so ago. I work in support for a large tech company, and I've been trying to educate my end users as we can't change the setting due to IT controls.

Clear, concise and probably THE most helpful tips I've seen. Solved a problem that's been driving me nuts. Excellent work, subbed.
