By default Windows 8 (and above) has a feature known as Fast Boot enabled, this can be rather problematic when dealing with RGB devices (at least for the initial setup).
Disabling Fast Boot
To disable fast boot, create a new file named Disable-fastboot.bat and paste the following code into it:
x
@echo offecho Enabling Fast Boot Feature for Full Restart / Shutdownif _%1_==_payload_ goto :payload:getadminecho UAC Prompt must be accepted...set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbsecho Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) >> "%vbs%"echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%""%temp%\getadmin.vbs"del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"goto :eof:payloadpowercfg /hibernate ongoto :eof:eofRight click on the file, and click Run as Administrator. Fast boot should now be disabled.
Enabling Fast Boot
If you'd like to re-enable fast boot, create another file named Enable-fastboot.bat and paste this code into it:
@echo offecho Disabling Fast Boot Feature for Full Restart / Shutdownif _%1_==_payload_ goto :payload:getadminecho UAC Prompt must be accepted...set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbsecho Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) >> "%vbs%"echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%""%temp%\getadmin.vbs"del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"goto :eof:payloadpowercfg /hibernate offgoto :eof:eofRight click on the file, and click Run as Administrator.
