For my two machines there is about one second difference on the SSD boot drive on the machine running 16 GB Ram and an SSD boot drive. There is about a ten second difference on the 8 GB machine with a 5400 RPM boot drive. The only time quick start comes into play for me is when I am having issues with Jaws or office or windows itself. Sometimes I need to reboot and the reboot does not work as it should because of the fast start being enabled. There are times when you will find that you need to restart and having this option enabled will complicate whatever you are troubleshooting. Sometimes you just need a clean reboot. I actually have more issues with starting up while having a pair of large external drives connected slowing down my restart or cold startup than having this option enabled or disabled. Because I have the option to scan external drives enabled in my antivirus application, it will sometimes slow down my startup or restart. If I unplug everything from the machine before starting or restarting I can be up and running in seconds no matter if the option is checked or not checked. But if I need to troubleshoot or install something I personally want that option to not be checked. Just my own personal preference.

This is a matter of opinion. Not a matter of fact. It depends on your personal preference and how your machine performs. Personally, I prefer to have quick start turned off and recommend it for all of my students. It works better when Win 10 and jaws 17 needs to be rebooted according to my opinion. That is why it is a check box and an option. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jim Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2015 10:07 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] disable quick start in win 10 Hi Robin, Again, there is no advantage to turning quick start off. This is a benefit of using w-10. For all practical purposes your computer is shut down, when choosing shut down. I have done this from the beginning every day when I am done using the computer, I use shut down. In the morning I just press the power button, in about 10 seconds or less, my computer comes on with Jaws talking. I then press the 4 digit pin, in a few seconds I am on the desktop. So, I don't understand all the fuss about turning it off. I am a big security minded person. So, anything beyond my anti-virus, that helps protect my computer is welcome. Good luck, just my opinion. Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

I didn't think you needed to do that. can someone clarify as I wouldn't want to disseminate erroneous information but I truly didn't remember having to have done that as I'm still logging into windows with a pin and my machines are still set to require one but I did disable fast startup myself. thanks bunches for clarifying.

Another reason, is the quick start is why people are not hearing a sound when they shut their computer off or turn it back on. Also, the quick start does not shut the computer totally down, so it is not the same as a complete shut down. I do not like the quick start for all of these reasons. Have a great one, Al. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Robbins Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 7:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] disable quick start in win 10 Kevin, Why would someone want to disable this feature?
