Windows 10: Computer boots from sleep as if it were shutdown.

I have been trying to put my computer to sleep as I normally have the past few nights, but when I turn it on the next morning it starts up as if it were shutdown.

I have checked to ensure that the system and drivers are updated, and the event log shows "The previous system shutdown at <time> on <date> was unexpected." a few seconds after the boot. There is no log from the night before showing the sleep or shutdown command, just a number of DistibutedCOM warnings over a span of a couple hours up to the time of shutdown.

I have checked power and update settings, but am not sure why this is happening. What might I have to do? Thanks for any help.

Windows Will Not Sleep or Shutdown from Start Menu


Hello! I can't get my PC to go to Sleep, or Shutdown using any of the typically proper methods. When I try to shutdown the PC it starts to shutdown, screen goes black and then wakes back up to the login screen.

I have gone through and disabled all of the devices that might other wise prevent this from happening. I have done the following to try and remedy the issue.

• Check the powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
  • This returns a NONE after disabling devices from Device Management
• Ran powercfg -lastwake
  • Wake History Count - 0
• Opened my Power Options > Multimedia Settings > When sharing media > Setting: Allow the computer to sleep

I have recently completed a clean windows install. One of the changes that I have noticed was that my BIOS now runs in UEFI mode, not Legacy. I'm not sure that this matters or not, but in my BIOS menu, the Boot Manager only list the Windows Boot Manger, not a list of devices.

Thank you any guidance would be appreciated, I would love to be able to Sleep and Shutdown my computer properly again.

Computer can't shutdown or sleep, only restart.


Hey guys. I hope someone here can help me with my current problem on my desktop. Whenever I try to shutdown my computer the montior shuts off and my drives stops after a few seconds, but my fans and LEDs keeps running.
I've tried to do all the suggestions from My Laptop wont shutdown , sleep and restart!! and from Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly - Forums - CNET

As of now, the only way I can shutdown my computer is by holding the powerbutton after I hear my drives have stopped or by using the switch on the powersupply.

Thanks in advance and Merry X-mas
