    But everytime SQL Server needs to be restarted it goes into the same "recovery mode". I want to prevent this from happening and I can't because I have no idea why it happens first of all.

    It will. It's called restart recovery and it's required to ensure that the databases are all transactionally consistent. It shouldn't take long. If it does then either your log is badly configured (too many VLFs) or there's IO bottleneck problems on the log and/or data drive, or there's something else hindering checkpoints or recovery.

    Have you messed with the recovery interval setting? (sp_configure)
