  Could you please explain little bit more about the Operating System.

  I have enabled the "soft-restart" feature. how do I use it?

  From a command line (cmd.exe shell) you type something like:

  C:\> shutdown.exe /soft /r /t 0
  

  ...and if you're on the PowerShell side of the Moon you type something like:

  PS C:\> Restart-Computer -Soft
  

  Hope this helped :)

  the parameters are accepted but the restart is performed normally (it goes back to before BIOS POST instead of expected bootmgr screen). has nobody actually performed a soft restart yet? :)

  Works fine a VM. Even w/o setting actually enabled (checkboxed).

  Well obviously that is the expected behaviour in a VM, since the VM already has a very short emulated BIOS POST time.
  On bare metal it sometimes take minutes until bios and all hardware components reinitialize themselves and that is actually the scope of this parameter/feature.
