Thank you for the explanation, and reference, which makes sense and
persuades me to make sure fast startup/quick boot is disabled on the
small number of Windows things on my network. The floundering fix I
mentioned in an earlier post may well have been made necessary by this
"feature." Most of the systems here are on all the time, and I rarely am
in such a hurry that a minute or so to boot from cold would be a
problem.
