      It might not be powering off fully. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup

      A convenient speed feature until it breaks e.g. something glitches out and when you power up your computer it remains glitched, because nothing was actually reinitialized. Also makes it basically impossible to dual-boot.
