You can force a full shutdown by pressing / holding a Shift key when clicking on Shutdown. Robert, ASRM causes a F11 key prompt for the Acronis Loader to show when booting your PC which when pressed should then load a small Linux based environment from which the main ATI application can be run, as if you were booted from the Linux version of the Rescue Media.įast start / hibernation are features of Windows and the Power settings on your PC - by default Microsoft enable Windows Fast Start to make the boot process look to be much faster than it is when doing a cold start and have to load all services and processes etc.Īnother name for this is hybrid sleep, so when you do a Shutdown from Windows, it doesn't actually shutdown fully, but instead puts the PC into this hybrid sleep state, which is in effect into hibernation (the current system state and memory etc is stored in the hidden/system hiberfil.sys file in the root of your C: drive) so that when you turn on the PC again, it is 'waking up' from this hybrid sleep state and resuming from where you left off with any open applications, documents etc.
