Information Returned

Fast Boot

Most IT pros think this should be 0 (Off). Windows is 1 (On) by default.
If Fast Boot is on for a computer, it means that shut down is the same as hibernation. In this case a shut down is not as good as a restart for applying updates etc. Turn this off to go back to a slower but safer shutdown. The speed benefit is negligible anyway if an SSD is installed.

To turn off fast startup (hiberbootenabled) manually

Note: This is a system setting and will require admin access to change.

Press Win+R > Type “control” (Opens control panel) > Type “power buttons” (Click Change what the power buttons do) > look for Turn on faststartup > Untick this box

Notifications

Most IT pros think this should be 1.

If this is 0, it means that the user has opted out from all system notifications, regardless of source.
