A hibernation file is just that: a file. Whether the system has power or not is completely irrelevant. Even with Fast Startup enabled the system is completely powered down, but if the boot sequence finds a hibernation file it will use it as part of the boot. It's held on disc, which is non-volatile. Hibernation, whether full or fast start, does not depend on battery power in any way. It works the same on a desktop or laptop and you can unplug the device for however long you like between when you shut it down and power it up again (barring long enough to kill the CMOS battery, which would typically take years). --

Re: Highbernating windows 10
I have had a powercut on a system while in hybernation and if it is in hypbernation it should just start as normal depends on battery though.
But if sleeping your system may be in an unbootable state till you restart it.
If it happens to many times you may dammage the power supply or the disk drive.
Even if you don't do that, windows may become unbootable, if you get this, a reformat is required to get the system to load.
If you have to reformat and the system has been slept then shut down, then you probably have dammaged or will damage the drives or power unit.
I havn't had a drive go but I have had to reformat because windows wouldn't load, then the power unit smoked.
What does concern me with some of this is windows can wake itself up to update, but if something goes wrong during the update, then your update is lost, windows may not boot and you will have to reformat.

why do you not recommend fast startup to be checked?
There are a couple of reasons, the last of which is the most important:
1. When one does a "shut down" on a system, what meaning does that generally carry? Most people think shut off/down, completely, and starting from scratch when it is powered up again. Fast startup directly violates that concept.
2. It seems to me that it is completely backward that Restart causes a complete shutdown, sets a timer, and fires up the system from scratch while Shut Down does not.
3. Fast Startup is a special form of Hibernation. Under normal Hibernation both the operating system state and all user states are written out to disk and reloaded when the system is powered up again. Fast Startup causes only the operating system state to be written out to disk in a special hibernation file and that is reloaded when the system is powered up again. As this state gets written out, over, and over and over again over a span of days, weeks, and months there will be corruptions that occur in the hibernation file. Almost invariably, at some point, a collection of little corruptions form a confluence where the entire system becomes unstable when it is restarted. I have witnessed this on two occasions myself, and the behaviors displayed were so bizarre that I simply could not figure out what the cause was, initially. Eventually, after a forced Restart rather that Shutdown/Power Up cycle, everything went back to normal.
I just cannot see how a few seconds to a minute or two of time saved at system start time is worth having to deal with the probability of this sort of problem. All the more so if a system has an SSD as the OS drive rather than an HDD. I would far rather have a complete, fresh, start where Windows 10 is loaded again from disk as it is when Restart is used than to have it come back from hibernation again and again. This is all the more so since I do not power down my system frequently, preferring to allow Windows 10 to have the "inactive hours" to do the updates I delay it from doing if they get configured during active hours and require a system restart.
When I shut down a system I intend, and absolutely want, it to shut down. I do not want it to hibernate the OS state. If I want hibernation I will intentionally choose it, and I want the user state(s) to be saved, too.

Re: Add-on Updater: counting down to release of version 19.01.1

You think I should turn it off? There's a way to prevent it only in

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Highbernating windows 10
brian <sackriderbrian45@...>
annoother reason to have fast start up unchecked is to have
windows music whenyou turn on your computer. This was posted on
the windows 10 list quite some time ago. If fast start up is
cheched you won't get any windows music when you turn on your
computer only on restart.

Re: nvda remote version 2.2 bug
I just tried it, works fine. A couple of things I'd check are.
1. Did your friend allow it through Windows Firewall? As soon as I
connected, this was running it on a machine for the first time, Windows
Security popped up with a message that it was being blocked and asking
me if I wanted to allow it.
2. You're sure F11 is actually F11? On some keyboards, notably laptops
and Microsoft Wave, you need to do something to get actual function
keys. With laptops it's usually hitting the FN key in conjunction with
the function key you want. On Microsoft Wave keyboards, there's a key to
the right of F12 that toggles between regular function keys and other
functions like opening your mail program or such, I forget what they do
because I don't use them.

On Sun, Dec 30, 2018 at 10:03 PM, Kwork wrote:
why do you not recommend fast startup to be checked?
There are a couple of reasons, the last of which is the most
important:
1. When one does a "shut down" on a system, what meaning does
that generally carry? Most people think shut off/down,
completely, and starting from scratch when it is powered up
again. Fast startup directly violates that concept.
2. It seems to me that it is completely backward that Restart
causes a complete shutdown, sets a timer, and fires up the system
from scratch while Shut Down does not.
3. Fast Startup is a special form of Hibernation. Under normal
Hibernation both the operating system state and all user states
are written out to disk and reloaded when the system is powered up
again. Fast Startup causes only the operating system state to be
written out to disk in a special hibernation file and that is
reloaded when the system is powered up again. As this state gets
written out, over, and over and over again over a span of days,
weeks, and months there will be corruptions that occur in the
hibernation file. Almost invariably, at some point, a collection
of little corruptions form a confluence where the entire system
becomes unstable when it is restarted. I have witnessed this on
two occasions myself, and the behaviors displayed were so bizarre
that I simply could not figure out what the cause was, initially.
Eventually, after a forced Restart rather that Shutdown/Power Up
cycle, everything went back to normal.
I just cannot see how a few seconds to a minute or two of time
saved at system start time is worth having to deal with the
probability of this sort of problem. All the more so if a system
has an SSD as the OS drive rather than an HDD. I would far rather
have a complete, fresh, start where Windows 10 is loaded again
from disk as it is when Restart is used than to have it come back
from hibernation again and again. This is all the more so since I
do not power down my system frequently, preferring to allow
Windows 10 to have the "inactive hours" to do the updates I delay
it from doing if they get configured during active hours and
require a system restart.
When I shut down a system I intend, and absolutely want, it to
shut down. I do not want it to hibernate the OS state. If I want
hibernation I will intentionally choose it, and I want the user
state(s) to be saved, too.

It wasn't the audio message? That was a surprise to me. I thought that
was so cool! And Happy new Year to all of you! :)
Annette, who hopes she didn't give it away

Wow, did that come through the addon or was it part of email.
This is interesting though, obviously for seecurity you would have to
be carefull, but some sort of daily message or something on new
things or whatever well that was good.
Then again you said a surprise was coming and well yeah.
I have never had a happy new year from my screenreader, thats novel.

Hi Joseph
A good message to start the year with same back at you like a boomerang.
We are already 17 hours into the new year.
I will not copy and paste the message they will see when they update it.

Hi everyone,
Happy New Year (or New Year's Eve depending on where you are).
Sometime in 2019 (few seconds after midnight UTC on January 1, 2019
to be exact), Add-on Updater 19.01.1 will make its appearance on any
computer running NVDA with this add-on installed. Although this is a
point release, it is a major release that resolves more compatibility
issues with Python 3 and simplifies certain portions of this add-on
source code. You will also find a surprise inside (shhh, you'll see
it after upgrading to that version).
Cheers,
Joseph
