HI @hesham2003,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If Fast Startup on your laptop works inconsistently, here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check Power Settings
- Open Control Panel and go to Power Options.
- Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
- Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
- Ensure Turn on fast startup (recommended) is checked.
2. Update Drivers
- Outdated drivers can affect boot speed:
- Open Device Manager (right-click the Start menu).
- Update drivers for your graphics card, chipset, and storage controllers.
3. Disable Hybrid Sleep
- Sometimes, hybrid sleep can cause issues with Fast Startup:
- Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings for your selected plan.
- Click on Change advanced power settings.
- Expand Sleep and set Allow hybrid sleep to Off.
4. Run Windows Update
- Ensure your system is up to date:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
- Install any pending updates.
5. Check for Startup Programs
- Too many programs launching at startup can slow boot times:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Go to the Startup tab and disable unnecessary programs.
6. Run a Disk Cleanup
- Cleaning up temporary files can help:
- Search for Disk Cleanup in the Start menu.
- Select the drive you want to clean (usually C:) and follow the prompts.
7. Check for Hard Drive Issues
- Run a check on your hard drive:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type chkdsk /f /r and press Enter. Follow the prompts.
8. Adjust BIOS Settings
- Sometimes, settings in the BIOS can affect boot performance:
- Restart your laptop and enter BIOS (usually by pressing F2, F10, or Del during startup).
- Look for options related to Fast Boot and ensure they are enabled.
9. Reset Fast Startup Settings
- Sometimes resetting the Fast Startup settings can help:
- Uncheck the Turn on fast startup option.
- Save changes and restart your laptop.
- Then re-enable the option.
10. Check for System Corruption
- Run the System File Checker:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
