My friend is having some problems regarding fast startup, so I wanted to know that where and in which file is the data when shutting down with fast startup is stored? The problem basically is that with fast startup enabled, Windows hangs while loading. I just want to know the location first.

Hi,

The data would be stored in c:\hiberfil.sys (hidden file) as it hibernates the OS after logoff for faster boot.

    Well, I wanted the location of the file, not how to enable or disable fast startup.
