    Sleep instead of Shutdown

    I have a desktop computer running Windows 10. It has been working with no problems.

    Recently it stopped shutting down. When shutdown is selected, it appears to shutdown, the monitor reports the video signal is lost and the lights go off on the PC.

    However it you touch the keyboard it start back up again and goes straight into the desktop.

    I have checked the configuration and the sleep is disabled and the power button appears to be configured correctly.

    It doesn't appear to relate to any processing still running.

    Suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks

    Can't get Windows 10 to Sleep and can't get Windows 10 to shut down

    I have an HP Envy 360. Ever since upgrading to Windows 10, I have 3 problems that none of the suggested solutions have fixed:

    • When I put the PC in Sleep mode, it doesn't actually sleep. The screen goes black, but you can still hear the fan running and the light on the left is on all the time instead of blinking. Then the only way to get the PC back running again is to do a hard
      shutdown.
    • When I put the PC in Shutdown mode, it doesn't shut down. The screen goes black, but you can still hear the fan running and the light on the left is on all the time instead of being off completely. The only way to shut it off completely is to do a hard
      shutdown.
    • My Windows 8.1 would boot up from shutdown to ready to start working in a matter of seconds. Now it takes about 3 - 4 minutes for the PC to start up. How can we start the PC up a LOT faster?
