     Thanks for spotting that! I thought I had disabled Fast Startup on my   
   wife's Mini-PC, but apparently I hadn't.   
      
     As I mentioned, I hardly ever use 'Shut down', so I also hardly ever   
   boot/startup, so Fast Startup has no real advantage for me. But it does   
   carry the risk that at some time a cold boot is needed (to (try to)   
   clear a problem), but with Fast Startup enabled, the system does a   
   warm(ish) boot.
