Hello guys. I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58.

Last year, I used win 11 while I turned on fast startup mode. It worked really well that it booted to windows very fast. But I have to reinstall my windows 11 and upgrade a HDD storage.

I turn on fast startup mode but when I turn off my laptop, it is still working and the keyboard lighting is still on.

I tried to wait a few minutes but nothing happened.

My laptop just shutdown when I was holding the power button.

How can I fix that? I don't want to turn off fast startup mode. 😥

    Acer community peers recommend disabling both Hibernate and Fast Startup in Power Plan "Change what closing the lid does" and "Change settings that are currently unavailable". These two features conflict with Modern Standby protocol (the new Sleep mode) in Windows10-11. If you want to boot faster replace your HDD for a SSD or get a faster PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD.

    I don't disable either fast startup or hibernate on any of my systems. Typically when your system won't go into sleep or hibernate mode it's an app or driver that's running in the background that doesn't handle the process correctly. You say you did a vanilla Windows 11 install? Why was that, typically for a drive upgrade you only clone the old to the new, so you have exactly the same environment, except for a larger system partition after switching to the new drive. If you still have the old drive you can go ahead and do that. If that's not feasible, make sure you have installed all the drivers from Acer's support site for Windows 11, then have Windows update do it's thing until there are no updates available any longer. If the problem persists, disable startup apps to try and pin it down to a specific one that's causing the issue.
