Windows 8 Hybrid Boot System!­

Recently Microsoft has introduced a new feature in
Windows 8 which is known as a Windows 8 Hybrid
Boot.
This allows the user to reduce start up times
after shutting down your Windows 8 PC.
.
What is Hybrid boot ?
.
Hybrid Boot is a new feature in Windows 8 that takes
the Hibernate feature we all know and love and
improves upon it to bring us faster boot times. In
your PC you have multiple sessions, more
specifically you have session 0 which is reserved for
the kernel session and session 1 which is normally
your user session. In traditional implementations of hibernation when you click hibernate your PC takes everything that it currently has in memory (RAM)
and writes it to the hiberfil.sys file on your hard
drive, this includes both session 0 and session 1
data.
With Hybrid Boot, instead of hibernating both
sessions it only hibernates session 0, it then closes
your user session. So now when you start your PC
back up, it reads session 0 from hiberfil.sys and
puts it back into memory, and starts a new user
session for you. The result is dramatically faster
boot times, with no effect on our user sessions.
It is very useful when you shut down often..
