Windows Fast Startup Dual boot workaround possible?
I would like to enable fast startup in windows 10 when dual booting. I know that this is not recommended and normally will lead to data loss, so I'm asking about a specific case and/or possible hacks.
Keeping Fast Startup for Windows 8 in a Win/Linux dual booting environment?
Dual booting Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu: Can I keep fast startup enabled in Windows if I do NOT have a shared partition?
From these posts, I am lead to believe that disabling dual boot is possible without data corruption so long as you never access a partition that windows uses. If the answers of these questions are correct, this means I can enable fast startup so long as my partitions are entirely disjoint.
What if I were to want a shared drive? Normally, the answer would be obvious, that fast boot would need to be disabled. But what if I unmounted the partition in windows before shutting down? Is it possible to make a script to run on startup/shutdown that mounts/unmounts partitions? Would this protect me from data loss while still keeping my boot times into the OS fast? To be clear, I would only ever access the shared partition from my secondary OS, and never the windows partition.
Thanks!

Have you actually measured the difference between fast boot and cold boot? On modern hardware this tends to be negliable, so the risk of data corruption is not at all balanced by the gains.
