    Cannot get windows to shut down


    When I click on the Windows icon in the bottom left corner, then Power, then Shut Down, my HP PC restarts instead of shutting down. I've tried this a number of times and I cannot shut down my desktop as I have been doing over the last 4 years.

    All other sections of the Windows Security app are OK.

    I don't want to have to do a hard shut down every time to turn my desktop off. How can I fix this Windows problem?

    :)
