It works!!


Hi! I recently installed windows 10 in my computer, but i got a problem : my computer does not fully shutdown when i click the shut down button in the start menu, it just closes apps, screen turns black, but the pc is still on and i can say this because keyboards lights are still on (power one, wifi one) and i am forced to press the power button for 5 seconds to force a shutdown and then turn it on again. I searched on internet some solutions and the most common problem seems related to the fast startup feature, i disabled it but the problem keeps going, i really don't know what to do, anyone has a solution for this? (sorry my english by the way)

This slow shutdown happens on many computers. W10 seems to be enriched with bugs and errors.

it's not a slow shutdown, it just remains like that until i keep pressrd the power button forcing the shut down, even if i leave it there for hours.

anyone?

Under Power settings, go to Advanced settings and make sure that the "Power buttons and lid/Power button action" option is set to " Shut down ".

I already did that but it did nothing :/ I'm actually thinking about going back to 8.1 because i don't want to risk my pc getting damaged in the long run

I've had the exact same thing happen to me twice. Searched online but I can't find a solution. Joined the forum here just to reply to this thread, it's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm thinking of going back to 8 this weekend as well and maybe I'll upgrade again in a few months.

Open a command prompt and run this as administrator; powercfg h off, then hit enter.


I had the same problem. My laptop was in dead sleep. I called HP and they couldn't help me. Turn off Fast Startup. Now my Laptop shuts down, and boots up from sleep just fine. They have more fixes on their channel too. Doesn't hurt to try.

Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10
Thanks for posting the link. Works a treat. My computer now shuts down.

It works!!
