After updating to Windows 11, the Fast Startup feature stopped working
After the system update, even if Fast Startup is enabled in Power Options, it still takes a long time to boot up after shutting down, and the startup speed is no different from when the feature is disabled. Attempts to re-enable the feature or perform a power reset have been ineffective; it appears that the system update has overwritten and corrupted the relevant settings for the Fast Startup feature.

Hi, Fast Startup depends on hibernation, so I would first check that hibernation is still enabled by running powercfg /h on from an elevated command prompt. Then turn Fast Startup off, restart, turn it back on, and test again. If boot is still slow, update chipset and storage drivers from the device manufacturer. Some Windows updates also reset power behavior, especially if there was a driver or firmware change.
