Win 11 : Shut down button is not restting uptime, Get-Uptime is showing wrong output

Step 1 : Shutdown graphically through win button > power button > Shut down

Outcome : system uptime is not reset and after powering up, can see long days in record through PowerShell Get-Uptime

 

Step 2 : Shutdown using command Run/PowerShell i.e. > shutdown -s -t 1

Outcome : system uptime is reset and after powering up, can see mere seconds in record through PowerShell Get-Uptime

    Apparently this seems to be working as expected due to the default 'Fast Startup' feature enabled in Win 11. We can change the configurations as per our preference in Control panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Turn on fast startup. Cheers!!

      Skobeloff Good point, thanks. Also, if you press SHIFT when shutingdown graphically through win button > power button > SHIFT + Shut down, you will also get a clean ("not fast") startup next time.
