    Specs:- CPU: i5-11700k- MOBO: MSI Z590 Pro Wifi- GPU: RTX 3060- RAM: 64GB DDR4 3600mhzI'd say this issue started happening maybe a month or 2 after I've started using my PC.Every time I press the "shut down" option in Windows it acts like a normal shut down, but then after a few seconds once everything's been "powered off" my system spins up again and boots as if I had pressed restart instead. I then press shut down in the lock screen, but the same thing happens. System "powers off" and spins back up.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    PC does not shutdown after pressing the "Shut down" option within Windows 10.

    After Windows 10 update, PC con't start

    Good news, pc is back and running.
    zBook was on the right track in that the BIOS was corrupted. However, the solution suggested did not work.
    Fortunately, after considerable digging, I found some information on the Gigabyte site. Following their suggestions, I was able to restore the primary BIOS from the backup BIOS. The whole process took less than 10 minutes.
    Basically, I had to:
    1. Shut off the computer. Unplug all connections to the motherboard except the VGA/DVI output and the keyboard.
    2. Press the POWER button and HOLD it. The computer will start and then shutdown. After the shutdown, release the POWER button.
    3. Press and release the POWER button. The BIOS will go into recovery mode. A BIOS recovery screen will appear and you need only to select from the options that are presented.
    This was a simple solution and I am now up and running.
    Thanks to all who provided suggestions.
