Windows 10: Laptop shuts down completely even after hitting restart.

Hi folks,
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Z580 laptop having I3-3120M CPU which runs Windows 10 Home edition. Recently I have came across a bizarre problem, I found that the restart option in my system is not working.
1. Whenever I hit restart the system shuts down completely instead of restarting and I have make a manual restart thereafter
2 Now, If I restart the laptop immediately after shutting down, the programs which were running before hitting 'restart' continue to run even after rebooting the laptop. But if I hard restart the Laptop after few minutes, the apps which were running before restart will no longer run after restart and laptop restarts normally.
3. Also, same goes for the sleep, the Laptop not going into sleep mode and shuts down completely.
4. Other functions of Laptop including shutdown and booting are working normally.
I formatted the Windows partition of my HDD completely from Command Prompt, and reinstalled the windows but the problem still persists. Also while installation whenever the system reboots itself automatically, it shuts down and I need to reboot it manually to resume the installation.

:)

 

Laptop Refuses to Shut Off


Hi, Phil. I'm doing what I've always done: slide the cursor to the lower left screen and click on Shut Down. But instead of shutting down the laptop responds as if I hit Restart.
Just tried your suggestion and hit shift but it made no difference. Laptop rebooted.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Random shut down and restart??

Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
E220@2.406hz
2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
Windows xp

Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused *Mad

One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?
