Hi David,
Ok I'm going to help him tonight. Would you mind providing your phone
number in case I need help? I don't have Windows 10 yet, but I looked
it up for him a while back and we got it to work, but now for some
reason the fast startup option is not showing up. I'll see if I can
take a look at one of my parents' computers with Windows 10 to see if
I can figure it out. Other than this annoying setting, my friend loves
his Inspiron and told me I should get one.

As far as I can remember the method to access fast startup, convoluted
though it is, has not changed with the April 2018 update. For whatever
reason, Microsoft seems to always enable it whenever Windows is updated
to a major release, such as going from the Creators Update to the April
2018 update. Monthly security updates don't alter this setting but major
feature updates seem to enable it, even when it was disabled at the time
of the update. I remember noticing this when I updated to the April 2018
update and the method I used to disable it seemed identical to the way
I've done it in the past. I don't have the steps in front of me but,
essentially, you access Power Settings, then go to the option to access
settings that are unavailable and Fast Startup should be located there.
You may have to give permission to the User Account Control prompt.

Hello,
A friend of mine has a Dell Inspiron 3542 laptop running Windows 10 home.
I gave him instructions for disabling the fast startup feature and he was
able to do it, but recently, that option has been re-enabled and he can’t
seem to disable it. Did Microsoft change something in one of their updates
that now you can’t disable fast startup? It just seems odd that this would
automatically be re-enabled with seemingly no way to disable it. Does
anyone have a solution for his issue? He told me that in order for him to
log in, he has to force a shutdown and then turn the computer back on.
