    Laptop not switching off completely and not starting right


    Hello,

    I got a new laptop on summer which run perfectly well on W81. until recently, when I decided to make a clean install of W10 and some problems started. Thanks to great people in this forum I solved them (Solved Stuck in UEFI after reset to default. - Windows 10 Forums), but one has persisted. Or, better said, has returned after being solved. It was fixed for one day and today it's back for some reason.

    When I switch off the laptop to close and go to bed, it doesn't turn off completely, two leds remain on, one with a bulb and the one for the wifi. When I press the start button of the laptop, it doesn't work. I need to press long, three seconds or so, then the leds will go off, and then I can press the start button again and it will start this time.

    I have my UEFI settings in default mode, I didn't change anything, not even password now.

    Any idea?

    Thanks

    :)

    After Windows 10 update the Shutdown does nor work (ASUS X53T laptop)

    After Windows 10 update the Shutdown does nor work (ASUS X53T laptop).

    When I try to do Shutdown, it never completes. At last I switch the power off to close the laptop. When I switch the power on again, the laptop starts as from sleep state.

    I have changed off the "fast startup" in power management, which may hibernate kernel-process.

    Startup is also slow.

    Fast Boot does give some people problems, maybe down the road MS will fix this issue. I have had it off for last 6 months. And I have not had any problems since turning it off. You SHOULD Leave it off....

    But my fast boot works fine. It is the switch-off which is failing. *Sad

    I to have had this problem --- Solution for me was -- Check and reset all of your "POWER OPTIONS" => Preferred Plans => Change plan settings => "Restore default settings for this plan" [restore all plans one by one, by default there are 3 plans]

    Then reset what the "Power Button" Does (Turn Off / On) Best setting (Lots of laptops have this default to Sleep)
    Then reset what the "Sleep Button" Does (Sleep Mode) preferred setting
    *** Important **** Then reset what the "Close Lid" Does (Turn Off / On) This adjustment is my preference because Windows 10 Blacks out the screen when shutting down (to Save Battery / Power) *** if you close the lid before complete shut down Windows 10 will put the machine in sleep mode but never fully shut the machine down.

    This worked. *Party*Party*Party

    But I had to reset the plan in the advanced settings. Later I tried to change the sleep on lid close for do nothing and still works fine. Now it switches off fine even if I close the lid before it ends closing and I have the fast boot. Full features working.

    Many thanks to you and Mike, you are great.

    It stopped working.

    I didn't touch anything, just stopped working.

    So I've been googling and it seems to be a common problem without a solution. Sometimes something works for some but not for others, and as in my case, the problem returns after being fixed. This is really weird.

    Should I write to Microsoft?

    Thank you Mike, do you know if there are Microsoft assistants participating in these forums for giving some official support?

    I think to remember from seven and eightforums that there are, but don't know how to contact them.
