Windows 10: Power settings keep switching back to default after the pc is shutdown

Since the brightness keys are not working I have to set the battery/power settings to control the brightness/dimness. But just after i shutdown the pc, the battery setting go back to default. Any way I could make the battery settings permanent?

Shutdown restart switch has stopped working in Windows 10

Hi Mike,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you with this.

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

• What happens when you press Shutdown/restart (power) button?

If notebook is in off condition, I suggest you to connect your notebook with power cable and allow it to charge and then try to press the power button and check if issue is solved.

If you’re notebook is in ON condition, I suggest you to set “Choose what the power button do” to Shutdown and check if it helps. To do so kindly follow the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X key and click on
  Control Panel.
• Under all Control Panel items select Power Option.
• Click or tab on Choose what the Power button does
  in left panel
• Select Shutdown under “When I press power button” and click on
  Save Changes.

Check if this resolves the issue.

Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.

Thank you.

Start/Shutdown menu changed its default to "switch user"

A week or two ago, my Start/Shutdown menu changed its default from Shutdown to "switch user." Also, when I get the full shutdown menu, there is a new option to "update and restart." But there are no updates pending.




How can I get back to the standard shutdown menu, and also have the default option be Shutdown?

Thanks for any suggestions.
