is fast boot bad for hardware?

[Anero]

i noticed my uptime doesnt resets even after disabling, I heard its cuz of fast boot feature?
should i put it off or it is fine?

No, it's not. The uptime doesn't reset because part of your RAM is written to the hard disk before shutting down and restored when you start the pc again.
It's fine.

Its part of the Hibernation system, you can either turn off fast boot manually, or you can disable Hibernation if you're on an SSD and it'll automatically disable fast boot.

If you mean the Windows Setting then it is "fast startup". Fast Startup does not depower a PC. It goes into the so called S5 Power state where no user file will be saved so it seems like you reboot. But you still have powered all your hardware so you don't have to wait the PC to post. Saves a bit time and is completly, harmless.


"Fast Boot" is a Bios setting. Fastboot let's the PC boot faster because it boot/post the hardware at the same time. Without Fast Boot the PC will activate every single hardware peace after each other which takes time. To use Fast Boot however you need hardware to support it. When you got a recent PC then this is no issue and can hard boot faster.
