On my side I am quite happy that the hardware+software can support some kind of fast wake-up (similar to Macbooks and smartphones instead of needing >10 seconds to wake up when I open the lid). I just do a real shutdown when I don't need the laptop anymore.
And precisely : as it was said by someone else above, on modern computers with SSDs, I would rather disable "fast startup" so that the computer really shutdowns when I ask him to (which is also useful when you have dual-boot and your Linux systems wants to get r/w access to the NTFS partition)
But I admit that the computer could/should automatically enter in suspend-to-disk after being in "modern standby" for more than e.g. 5 minutes, and this should be configurable.
The "fast startup" cause a lot of problems for us. If you "shutdown" you're not doing a full shutdown.... You’re really only doing a full shutdown when you select “Restart” instead as evidenced by the uptime clock in task manager.
It's like Windows broke the simplest button ... just shut it down!
The value of fast wakeup is real. But manufacturers and OS vendors need to actually get their act together and implement this, not fake it in a way that passes reviews but is actually damaging to hardware in the real world.
Exactly. It's entirely possible to implement fast wakeups, but it requires thoughtful design. Smartphone go to sleep opportunistically whenever you shutdown the screen. Even an Intel CPU could probably do this in less than 500ms (and that is a boatload of cycles).
