This information is encoded in bit fields in the SYSTEM_POWER_STATE_CONTEXT structure. Starting with Windows Vista, the Power member structure contains a SystemPowerStateContext member, which is a SYSTEM_POWER_STATE_CONTEXT structure that contains information about the previous system power states. The driver's I/O stack location in this IRP contains a Power member, which is a structure that contains power-related information. To distinguish a fast startup from a wake-from-hibernation, a driver can inspect the information in the system set-power ( IRP_MN_SET_POWER) IRP that informs the driver that the computer has entered the S0 (working) state.
A fast startup tends to take significantly less time than a cold startup. In contrast, a fast startup simply loads the hibernation file (Hiberfil.sys) into memory.

Next, the kernel configures core system functions, enumerates the devices attached to the computer, and loads drivers for them. To distinguish fast startups from wake-from-hibernation, kernel-mode device drivers can examine system power IRPs.ĭuring a cold startup, the boot loader constructs a kernel memory image by loading the sections of the Windows kernel file into memory and linking them. Fast (combines first two, introduced in Windows 8).There are three startup modes in Windows:
