Hibernate

It's not smart to mount a Windows partition from another OS while Windows is hibernated! If you don't automount the Windows partition it may not be a problem.

Disable hibernate (from administrator prompt):

powercfg /hibernate off  # or /hibernate, dashes work too

This should also delete Hiberfil.sys.

Reference: How to disable and re-enable hibernation on a computer that is running Windows

Fast Boot / Fast Startup (Hybrid)

Fast Boot, originating in Windows 8, relies on UEFI. Configure in BIOS.

Fast Startup requires hibernate mode is enabled.

Configure Fast Startup from Power Options / Power Buttons or:

Enable Fast Startup
powercfg -h on
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /V HiberbootEnabled /T REG_dWORD /D 1 /F
Disable Fast Startup
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" /V HiberbootEnabled /T REG_dWORD /D 0 /F

Etc
