    Do you know how often users actually restart their machines without being forced?

    If Windows would actually shut the fuck down when asked to do so, this wouldn’t be a problem.

      I complained enough at my work about this that we shut off fast boot domain wide. I haven’t had to have a “I know that you just turned your computer on but I need you to restart it. No, not shutdown and turn on, restart. Yes, they are different things.” conversation in a couple years. Funnily enough I haven’t seen anyone complain about the significantly longer start up times. I guess people just expect that from windows lol.

        I think people just don’t care about startup times. They do it maybe once per day (if they don’t sleep and resume), and they probably get a coffee or something while it’s starting up.

          Walk in, press on button, hang up jacket and get stuff out of bag, type in password, grab coffee.

          That’s a pretty common morning pattern I see.
