The tool also features additional repair features that allow you to fix and back up boot sectors, repair broken file systems, and more.

Solution 4 – Disable Fast Startup

To avoid similar issues in the future, you can simply disable Fast Boot. Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do. Now, scroll down to Shutdown settings > uncheck the ‘Turn on fast startup’ option.

SPONSORED Note: Sometimes, when you shutdown your device and power it up again using other operating systems like Linux, it will not boot correctly. In this case, you need to use the Reboot option instead of the Shutdown option. Now that you have followed the steps listed below, you can see how easy it is to dual boot your Linux operating system using the Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Fast boot feature.
