  4.  After the download and installation process is completed, restart your system for the changes to take effect.
  5. Disable Startup Programs to Speed up Your SSD

The fast startup feature is a built-in feature in Windows that resides in the power options of your system. It allows you to start up your system faster after a shutdown. Your system will get into the hibernation state instead of a full shutdown when you enable the fast startup feature. However, if your computer is capable of hibernation, then the fast startup feature will be enabled by default.

You can only install updates when you start your computer after a full shutdown. Since fast startup uses hibernation mode, therefore the installation of updates will not be completed before a full shutdown. Choose the restart from the power menu to make sure pending updates are completed.

The advantage of the fast startup is that it boot your PC and SSD faster. It saves your precious time wasted in the slow boot-up process. It clears up most of your memory when you shut down your system. This feature is significant for your SSD as it enhances the performance and boot-up speed of your system.
