Windows 10: Computer cannot be closed down

After a comprehensive Microsoft update ( 90 min.) the computer

cannot be closed down, although the update was confirmed as

successfully completed. At the end of the run down process the

computer starts again automatically and can only be halted by cutting

off current supply.

When engaged the program ( W. 10) works perfectly.
