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).
