# Testing ACPI changes under Windows
|
|
|
|
When testing ACPI changes in coreboot against Windows 8 or newer, beware that
|
|
during a normal boot after a clean shutdown, Windows will use the fast startup
|
|
mechanism which results in it not evaluating the changed ACPI code but instead
|
|
using some cached version which won't include the changes that were supposed to
|
|
be tested. In order for Windows to actually use the new ACPI tables, either
|
|
disable the fast startup or just tell Windows to do a reboot which will make it
|
|
read and use the ACPI tables in memory instead of an outdated cached version.
