> [!NOTE]
> This release removes `Disable Fast Startup` from the default settings. For most users, fast startup has more benefits than downsides. Run [this registry file](https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/blob/master/Regfiles/Undo/Enable_Fast_Startup.reg) to re-enable fast startup on your system.
