Windows failed Fast Startup with error status 0xc00000d4 is one that users have complained about recently.

When the issue arises, the Fast Startup mode fails, and the Events Viewer logs the issue with a 0xc00000d4 error code.

You can prevent this if you disable Fast Startup, or you can use other solutions from this guide.

What causes Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xc00000d4?

The error status 0xc00000d4 typically indicates a problem with the hibernation file or the Fast Startup feature in Windows.

Here are some of the likely triggers of the error:

• Corrupt hibernation file – A PC with a corrupted hibernation file will be likely exposed to failure in Fast Startup mode. Elements like conflicting software or power cuts are often responsible for this.
• Driver issues – These are a common cause of computer failure and have also been known to trigger errors in fast Startup.
• Hardware issues – This is the most major factor, sometimes requiring a change in hardware units such as your motherboard.
• Virus or malware infections – Viruses have a well-documented history of ruining computer processes and are an easy cause of the errors you may encounter in Fast Startup.

Now we know some possible causes, let us explore a few of the best solutions.

So, what can you do now?

Therefore this article contains the answer. You don’t need to go here and there to get the direction to fix the error. Let’s explore it.

Why the Error Status 0xc000004d Occurs

The reason behind the error isn’t inbound with any specific cause. By the way, here I include a couple of probable causes. External hardware is one of the major reasons for occurring the error. Or it has occurred of a system crash. Another cause can be a system update too.  

Here I will compile a couple of fixes. These can help you to recover from the error. Before jumping into the details, let’s check the list first.

• Fix 1: Disconnecting All external hardware
• Fix 2: Run System File Checker (SFC)
• Fix 3: Turn off Fast Startup
• Fix 4: System Restore

Fix 1: Disconnecting All external hardware

External hardware like a USB flash drive can create the error status 0xc00000d4. So, whenever you face an error, you need to check if that is any external hardware injected into your PC. If any, you should disconnect all external devices. 

However, the effectiveness of the fix will be 50-50. If it doesn’t work, you will need to move to the next fix.

Fix 2: Run System File Checker (SFC)

You can run SFC Scan through the Command Prompt. In most cases, the process has resolved the error. I will include the process step by step below. 

Step 1

Tap the Windows key and type ‘cmd’. Consequently, the ‘Command Prompt’ preface will be visible on the screen. Then look at the right side of the appeared interface. From here, you have to click on the ‘Run as administrator’ command option. 

Step 2

As a result, the ‘Command Prompt’ window will become evident on the screen. Here you have to type ‘sfc /scannow’. You may copy the command text from here and paste it into the window.

After that, hit the ‘enter’ key and wait for the 100% verification finish line.

Finally, check the Fast Startup feature. Will it work or not? 

Fix 3: Turn off Fast Startup

You may turn off the Fast Startup manually from the system whenever your PC has an SSD drive. The process will be given below.

Step 1

Right-click on the ‘Start’ menu. Then you need to click on the ‘Power Options’. You will get it at the top side of the newly appeared interface. 

Step 2

Consequently, the ‘Power & sleep’ option will appear inside the ‘Settings’ window. Look at the right side. Here you will see the ‘Related settings’ section with blue colored ‘Additional power settings’ option. You have to click on it.

Step 3

After that, you will access the ‘Power Options’ interface. From here, you need to work with the ‘Choose what the power buttons do’ option. 

Step 4

While clicking on the option, the ‘System Settings’ interface will be visible on the screen. Here you need administrative permission to work with unavailable settings. To do so, you will see the blue-colored ‘Change settings that are currently unavailable’ option. You have to click on it.

Step 5

As a result, you will get permission to change ‘Shutdown Settings’ that will stay at the bottom. From here, you need to unmark the ‘Turn on fast startup’ box. In the end, tap the ‘Save changes’ tab.

Now, restart the PC and check the issue. Will it remain slow to boot up or fast? 

Fix 4: System Restore

A system update may affect the Fast Startup feature. So, system restoration can be a possible fix whenever other fixes can’t work. Here to apply the fix, you need Windows administrative access.

Step 1

Tap the Windows and ‘R’ keys together to work with the ‘Run’. Then you have to type ‘cmd’ into the ‘Open’ box and click on the ‘Ok’ at the end.

Step 2

Consequently, the ‘cmd.exe’ window will appear on the screen. You have to copy the below text and paste it into the appeared window.

‘rstrui.exe’ 

Then hit the ‘enter’ button.

Step 3

After that, you will see the ‘System Restore’ interface on the screen. Choose a restore point whether the error didn’t exist. Then you need to click on the ‘Next’. 

Step 4

Next, you need to tap the ‘Next’ tab on the newly appeared interface to confirm the process execution.

Step 5

Finally, you will reach the endpoint. Here you have to click on the ‘Finish’ tab. Hopefully, the error status 0xc00000d4 will not exist anymore.

Final Words

In the end, I would like to recommend you remove the external hardware from the PC while Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xc00000d4 will appear. On the other hand, if no external hardware is injected, you can apply the other fixes.   

The error 0xC00000D4 is caused by a number of reasons which includes recent system updates, system crashes etc due to which the users cannot fast boot their systems. People usually use SSDs to speed the data transferring which means faster boot up. We all know that after using an installed version of Windows for a while, the bootup sequence gets slower day by day. That is due to the software and packages installed daily. However, if you didn’t know, Windows has a fast startup feature that speeds up your boot sequence. Albeit, you shouldn’t use it if you have SSDs connected to your board as the feature’s effect is all in vain in front of SSDs speed.

Some of us, have definitely come across the ‘Error 0xC00000D4’ error which means that the fast startup has failed or crashed due to some reason. This can be quite easily solved so no need to worry.

What causes the Fast Startup to Fail with Error 0xC00000D4?

The fast startup feature failure causes include, but is not limited to –

• A system update. One of the reasons includes a recent system update meaning the feature might have been affected by the update.
• External hardware connected to the system. Some users have reported that connecting external hardware like dvb-t usb stick caused the error.
• System crash. If your system crashed before the error popped up, it might have corrupted your system files making it a possibility of the error pop up.

There are a few generic solutions for solving this error, however, if none of them work for you, you have but one solution remaining which is mentioned below:-

Solution 1: Running SFC Scan

Sometimes, if you had a recent system update or crash, it might’ve resulted in corrupting in your system files due to which you should start off with running a system files check. To do this:

2. Right click on cmd and click ‘Run as an administrator’.
3. Type in the following command:

    sfc /scannow

Wait for it to complete as it is going to take a while.

Solution 2: Disconnecting any external hardware

If you’ve connected some external hardware like USB sticks or anything else and the error pops up, the possibility of it being a reason is to be considered. Hence, in such a case, you are to complete your task for which you’ve connected the device and then remove it.

Solution 3: Turning off Fast Startup

Unfortunately, if the above-mentioned solutions don’t fix your problem, you are probably going to have to disable Fast startup. Microsoft knows about this error yet they haven’t released an official fix for it. Hence, you are going to have to turn it off for now till Microsoft releases a fix.
