One of my Windows 8.1 PCs using a HDD system disc sometimes fails the fast startup giving the error Event 29 "Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC00000D4". When the system reboots, I also get the Critical Error Event 41"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
The PC has been correctly shut down using the hybrid shutdown command C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -S -hybrid -F -T 01. The system is powered off at the mains switch once all the PC LEDs are off and the HDD has spun down.
SFC /SCANNOW runs with no errors and all drivers are up to date. I've tried turning fast startup off and on again but this makes no difference.
Are there other fixes I can try? I would like to get fast startup working since the PC boots to the login screen in 20 secs under fast startup but it takes about 50 secs with fast startup disabled.
