It boots that fast because it never really shut down. Try disabling
Windoze 10 "fast startup" feature and time how long it takes when it
has to load everything from scratch:

**Are you suggesting that Windows 10 is, somehow, magically operating on my
laptop? A laptop, I might add, that has the battery removed, because I only
run it on mains power? AFAIK, when I switch on a laptop, which has no
battery connected, then that qualifies as a 'cold boot'.

My laptop manages to "cold boot" from the saved image on the hard drive that
was saved the last time I turned it off. I think they call that hibernate
rather than sleep. But I believe what Jeff is talking about is something
similar, but automatic rather than you having to set it to hibernate when
powering off. I'm using Win8.
