    Shut down computer


    Hello,
    Yesterday before going to bed, I went to shut-down the computer as always, it takes about 20-30 seconds. On screen had the usual notice something like 'shuting-down..', screen went black and I left the room.
    Then before going to bed I checked again and see the light in the mouse is still alight and the computer still running but the screen was black. There was no mouse, clicked ctl+alt+del and nothing happened - screen still black. Pushed the reset button and after a minute or so Windows came back. There was not any error message.
    Made a quick chk in device mgr, everything ok. Then I again shut-down the computer, this time it closed normaly after some seconds.
    This is the first time (hope also the last) something like this happened.
    What can be the reason of such behaveiour and what to chk.
    Have some other question, but I'll post it to the proper place.
    Answers will be apppreciated.
    Thanks


    :)

  2. Computer will not shut down on selecting shut down option, restarts instead in Windows 10

    Hello Fred,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

    • Did you check if the power settings are changed on your PC?
    • Are you facing the above issue since the upgrade?
    • Did you make any system changes prior to the issue?


    You may be facing the above issue due to the system components conflicting with Windows 10 operating system. System settings may change after upgrading the OC to one version to another, reverting them to their respective setting changes will resolve
    the issue.



    Method 1: Running troubleshooter will detect if there are any corrupted components present and will fix to restore the performance of the system. I suggest you to run the
    Power Troubleshooter and check if the issue is resolved.



    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type troubleshooting
      and select the top most search result.
    • Click on View All from the left side of the screen panel.
    • Select Power from the options,
      click on Advanced option and check Apply repairs automatically
      option.
    • Follow the on screen instructions.
    • Close the window and check if the changes are effective.


    Method 2: If the issue persists, check if there is any changes made in the Power option settings by following the steps below and make necessary changes.



    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
      Power Options
      and select the top most search result.
    • Select Choose what the power button options from the left side panel of the window.
    • From the windows select Shut Down from the drop down bar for the option
      When I press the power button under Power button settings.
    • Click on Save changes and close the window to check if the changes are effective.


    Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

    Computer will not shut down on selecting shut down option, restarts instead in Windows 10

    Original Title: Computer Restarts after Selecting Shutdown

    After installing Windows 10, about 80% of the time, after selecting [Power] then [Shutdown], the computer screen will go black, then it will beep, and restart. It does not matter whether I shut down with the keyboard (Windows key, ^^ Enter, ^^Enter), or
    with the mouse (Select Windows Icon, Select Power, Select Shut down), about 80% of the time, the results are the same: Restart. It's getting to be annoying because I have to sign back in, and then go through the shutdown process
    again.

    What to do?

    Hello,
    Thanks for the answer.
    That was too easy, but as I said in my question: Display was dark, nothing on it, no mouse activity, no keyboard respond, moved the mouse here and there - nothing, several times pressed ctl+alt+del - nothing. Had to push the reset button, then windows started to load, when it finished to load I pressed the "power" and managed to shut-down the computer.
    Hope it will not happen again.
    Thanks

    Maybe it has something to do with the lcd cable. I had this problem on my old laptop. Picture wnet black and nothing helped but a hard reset. It had to be replaced.
