  1. Computer restarts after selecting shutdown


    I have a problem with my Lenovo laptop that when I hit shutdown in the start menu, it will restart instead. At the sign in screen I can press shutdown and it will work fine, but it is just annoying to have to wait and press shutdown again.

    Also it is a clean install of windows 10. If someone can help I would be most grateful.

    :)

    Computer will not shut down on selecting shut down option, restarts instead in Windows 10

    Original Title: Computer Restarts after Selecting Shutdown

    After installing Windows 10, about 80% of the time, after selecting [Power] then [Shutdown], the computer screen will go black, then it will beep, and restart. It does not matter whether I shut down with the keyboard (Windows key, ^^ Enter, ^^Enter), or
    with the mouse (Select Windows Icon, Select Power, Select Shut down), about 80% of the time, the results are the same: Restart. It's getting to be annoying because I have to sign back in, and then go through the shutdown process
    again.

    What to do?

  3. Computer restarts after shutdown

    Hi,

    When you are experiencing security permission issues, the user profile is lacking admin privileges. To run an application,
    right-click an application and select Run as administrator. Otherwise, we'd like to ask the following questions:

    • Which version or build of Windows device are you using? To verify your Windows, press
      Windows + R to open the Run window. Type WINVER
      and press Enter. A new window will open showing the version and build number of your Windows device.
    • Were there any changes, recent updates, and newly installed applications on your device that may have affected your computer's performance?
    • To avoid repetition, can you provide us with all the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?

    Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

    Computer restarts after selecting shutdown

    Hi,

    Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional power settings > Choose what the power buttons do

    Then check that your power and sleep buttons are set correctly


    Edit: Or maybe you need to download Lenovo software to have correct and full functionality of keyboard?
