My 10 LTSC runs out in 2027 without extended support. It's been my main driver for years.
I also don't have this issue of accidentally upgrading. Though if it did I wouldn't notice because I always hibernate to avoid waiting an hour for startup.
In my experience on a modern SSD there is no difference in startup time between hibernate and normal boot. 10-20 seconds from hitting the power button.
You're wrong because
There is no difference between a regular startup and waking from hibernate, it cannot really be compard as two separate things in the first place, the RAM was stored in memory before shutdown. Type of drive does not make any difference. Maybe you were confusing it with Sleep?
Windows runs some fuckery all the time during a normal startup. I've seen both Windows 10 and 7 take upwards of an hour to boot. This is avoided via hibernate.
nope
I'm sorry but wtf, I've been a Windows user all my life, often on old, shitty PCs, but startup never took more than a couple minutes at worst. Sounds like something is really wrong with your PC O.o
It's been wrong with all of my Windows PCs for over a decade, It doesn't seem specific to any software on them, so I say it's a windows general issue. I've even run memory diagnostics from a bootable USB, no issues. I've verified the same machines can boot Linux fast and perfectly fine.
I've even seen memes about it, it's a really common problem.
