Disable fast startup

Windows 10 has a 'Fast Startup' feature that is enabled by default.

What this means is that when you shut down the computer, it doesn't actually turn off completely (see here for more information on this).

To disable the 'Fast Startup' feature:
  • Click the Settings icon in the Start menu
  • A Settings window will open:
    • Click on System
    • Select Power & sleep on the left
    • Click on Additional power settings under Related settings
    • A Power Options window will open:
      • Click on Choose what the power button does on the left
      • Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable
      • Uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended)
      • Click Save Changes
