    I often cloning HDDs (that contain Windows 10) through Acronis, and I noticed that when Fast Startup is enabled in this HDDs, some error occurred.
    There is any way to disable Fast Startup (maybe with a Powershell command) without boot this HDDs?

    Code:
    REG add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /v "HiberbootEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >NUL 2>&1
    0 = disable
    1= enable

    Will require a reboot for the OS to take action on the registry change.

    obviously I was looking for a shortcut, in case I forgot to do it and be forced to reconnect the HDD to his PC

    I look for a way to disable it from the workstation with Acronis in which I momentarily connected the HDD to be cloned with a docking station.

    Just turn off the machine to be cloned by pressing SHIFT when you shutdown.
    This disables fast boot only for this moment.

    translated:
    (spegni il PC premendo SHIFT quando fai shutdown. Così disabilita il fastboot solo per questa volta ed hai meno cose da ricordare dopo)

    Thank you, until now this is the best tip. I suppose there is no way to disable it from the "Cloner" workstation.

    Control Panel / Power Options will let you turn off Fast Startup.

    Ofcourse there is, depends when "errors" happen. During clone process or once the clone is booted?

    When I connect the HDD to the docking station, Windows asks me for a check disk, and sometimes Acronis fails the cloning process. If the process ending successfully, no issues during/after boot.
