Windows 10: Computer automatically restarts after shutdown

Windows 10 kept wanting to restart after it has been shutdown. The computer would have its power indicator turned off for maybe 2 seconds, then you hear the fan whirling and the BIOS screen appears followed by the usual boot process.

I don't know how this would help, but my problem was solved by turning off in my BIOS setup 'Legacy USB Support'. Now if I shutdown Windows 10, it would really shut itself down. No problem so far after maybe 10 or so instances.

Stop Code: Critical Process Died

My Dell Precision computer is facing automatic shutdown giving the error "Stop Code: Critical Process Died". After some time computer gets started again, and then at anytime goes for automatic shutdown with same error and then and restart. I have Windows
10 working for last 2 years.

Windows 10 Automatically restarts after shutdown

I downgraded but even now the problem is there. Can it be some driver issue..?

Like grahpics driver?

 

Forget the above.... I reinstalled Windows 10 but this time the machine restarts regardless of the 'Legacy USB Support' settings.

Had to resort to what some others suggested before - turn off 'fast startup' under Power Options.

 

I am just answering my own post here over and over again... *Smile

Upon further investigation it became apparent that something is wrong with my PS/2 keyboard. Unplugged it and the shutdown behavior becomes normal even with fast-startup switched on.

Sorry folks for the false alarm.

 

With virtually no details about computer, anybody would be just guessing and I suppose not many are willing to start troubleshooting like that. "Computer" is very general term nowadays.
