Windows 10: Enable Quick Start - here's how

With Quick Start enabled, Windows 10 saves an image of the operating system every time it shuts down. This is used at the next system start to speed up the boot process. To enable Quick Start, only a few steps are necessary.

1. Enter "Control Panel" in the Windows search box at the bottom of the taskbar and select the result of the same name.
2. In the window, click "System and Security" and then "Power Options".
3. In the left column, now select the entry "Select what should happen when pressing power switches".
4. Followed by this, you will see the item "Enable fast startup(recommended)" in the "Shutdown settings" section.
5. Make sure the option is checked and click the "Save changes" button at the bottom.
6. The next time you start the system, you should register a significant improvement in the loading time.

To speed up your startup even further, you can reduce the startup programs in the Task Manager. To do this, press the key combination "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "ESC" to open the manager. Switch to the "Autostart" tab at the top. Now you can click on the corresponding program and select "Disable" at the bottom right.
