Fast Boot

This option can speed up the boot process by bypassing some compatibility steps:

 

• Minimal — The system boots quickly, unless the BIOS has been updated,

 

memory changed, or the previous POST did not complete.

 

• Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the boot process.

 

• Auto — This allows the operating system to control this setting (this works only

 

when the operating system supports Simple Boot Flag).

 

This option is set to Thorough by default.
