Windows 8 Hybrid Boot System!

Windows 8 Hybrid Boot System!

Recently Microsoft has introduced a new feature in
Windows 8 which is known as a Windows 8 Hybrid
Boot. This allows the user to reduce startup times
after shutting down your Windows 8 PC.
What is Hybrid boot ?
Hybrid Boot is a new feature in Windows 8 that takes
the Hibernate feature we all know and love and
improves upon it to bring us faster boot times. In
your PC you have multiple sessions, more
specifically you have session 0 which is reserved for
the kernel session and session 1 which is normally
your user session. In traditional implementations of
hibernation when you click hibernate your PC takes
everything that it currently has in memory (RAM)
and writes it to the hiberfil.sys file on your hard
drive, this includes both session 0 and session 1
data.
With Hybrid Boot, instead of hibernating both
sessions it only hibernates session 0, it then closes
your user session. So now when you start your PC
back up, it reads session 0 from hiberfil.sys and
puts it back into memory, and starts a new user
session for you. The result is dramatically faster
boot times, with no effect on our user sessions.
How to Enable or Disable Hybrid Boot ?
By default it is enabled. Well thats the secret as to
how windows 8 boots and shutdowns quickly. but if
u want to disable it hers how.
-Open Control Panel.
-Navigate to Hardware and Sound, then to the Power
Options.
-From the left pane, click : Choose what the power
button does.
-Click on Change settings that are currently
unavailable.
Now at the bottom, you will be able to enable or
disable hybrid boot.
How to Quickly Do a Full Shutdown without disabling
Hybrid boot ?
-Right click on your Desktop and create a new
shortcut.
-When you are asked what you would like to create a
shortcut to, type the following : shutdown /s /t 0
-Then give your shortcut a name.
-Once you have created your shortcut, right click on
it and head into its properties and click change icon
if needed.(optional)
-To do a full shutdown all you need to do is click on
the shortcut.
