    Fast-boot normally involves saving Windows to a swap partition and basically just half-hibernating. If that swap partition is shared with Linux it’d get overwritten and the boot method would swap to the slower one.

    As far as I know there’s no way to make a swap partition be exclusive to Linux or vice-versa.

      Ah, I thought Windows always used its own paging file thing located on the Windows NTFS drive, and couldn’t be made to use Linux swap.

      If so, enabling that thing probably isn’t a good idea if you are dual booting, yes. Can see all sorts of problems coming from that.
