SSDs boot fast enough that I just hard shut down windows at night whenever I have to boot into it -- usually for games, since all my non-vr games run on Linux but I have a Quest 2, and Linux support for those is Incredibly sketchy.
It can't wake from sleep/hibernation if it's fully powered off and there's no windows code running to wake it.
Yep, I find booting from off is as fast (and maybe faster) than coming out of hibernation these days. It's definitely more fluid.
My SMB IT friends disable hibernation when they deploy laptops. Users don't reboot enough as it is, hibernation can be problematic, and wastes hard drive space (at least 16 gig, because they don't spec any less)
