Windows Fastboot functionality on SER8 not working?

DragonFly

Model: 8745HS
Bios: HPT.8xxx.SER8.V029.P8C0M0C15.08.Link

The PC is working fine. However I can’t seem to get the Fast boot functionality to work properly.
There seems to be NO difference at all in startup times between ‘normal’ restarting or when using Fastboot (PC shutdown -> Restart). It’s taking about the same time when Fastboot is enabled in Power Config settings compared when this setting is off. Booting should be relatively instant when Fastboot option is ON.

Any ideas why there seems to be no difference in boot times?

Any ideas

Hi there
May i know did you enable a lot of startups ?
Please disable startups as less as you can .

and clean the trash in the system as well

No, not really. Running the default Beelink installed windows (and a default BIOS setting).
This is when I run powercfg -a

C:\>powercfg -a
The following sleep states are available on this system:
    Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) Network Connected
    Fast Startup

The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        This standby state is disabled when S0 low power idle is supported.

    Standby (S2)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        This standby state is disabled when S0 low power idle is supported.

    Standby (S3)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.
        This standby state is disabled when S0 low power idle is supported.
        The current Device Guard configuration has disabled this standby state.

    Hibernate
        The hiberfile type does not support hibernation.

    Hybrid Sleep
        Standby (S3) is not available.
        Hibernation is not available.
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.

Is there any other way to check (via commandline) if fastboot is working or something/process is preventing it to do so?

Please try this
1.enable Fast Startup
In Control Panel, click the Power Options. Select the Choose what the power buttons do. check the “Turn on fast startup.”, click save changes.
2.
Please send us a picture of SN number and BIOS version .
So we would be able to know whether it is latest BIOS and send you files accordingly.
Here`s how to check your BIOS version:

You can check if Fastboot is enabled using the following command:

powercfg /energy
This command will generate a report that you can review to check for any warnings or errors related to Fastboot.

Well….did a fresh Windows install with latest drivers and now Fast boot/startup is working again.
Probably a driver glitch. SER8 now boots in the blink of an eye!
Very happy now…
