Paul,
re: Power Off / Power On at night…
Using Windows 10 OS Version 2004 (Build 19041.572) it now takes my laptop (Intel i5 – 6200, 16 GB RAM) about two full minutes to completely shut down and about five minutes to fully enable me to log in.
At least I can go and get another cup of coffee. Perhaps that’s why it’s designed that way 😉
I have a Linux laptop, similar specification. The distro I use (slackware-current, just say “No” to systemd :-) is set up to load things only when they’re needed and boots in 10 to 20 seconds, including putting in both my FDE password and then logging into a shell. If I need Windows I can start up a stripped-down Windows 10 VM in VirtualBox in about two minutes after that…
…so I may be the wrong person to ask for advice, hehehe.
