Disable Windows FastBoot via Intune Remediations

Windows 10 Fast Boot, one of the first things I disable in any corporate environment, users shut down at the end of the day and will rarely restart unless told to so not fully shutting down is just asking for trouble.

To get started, navigate to Reports – EndPoint Analytics – Proactive Remediations and click Create Script package

Give it a name and description:

Add a remediation script too (https://github.com/andrew-s-taylor/public/blob/main/Powershell%20Scripts/remediate-fastboot.ps1)

Leave it in 32-bit PowerShell and it’s a Local Machine key so make sure it’s not running as the logged-on user

Then simply assign it and set a schedule:
