  1. Start Menu Shutdown or Sign Out options Not Working Correctly


    When I right click on Start and select any of the options, they do not perform the actions they indicate and several are completely broken.


    Sign Out - Does nothing at all.

    Sleep - Computer sleeps, but cannot ever be woken from sleep state. It will PERMANENTLY stay in sleep unless I physically remove the battery.

    Shut Down - Will sometimes go into sleep mode and experience the same issues as the Sleep option. Other times it will restart the machine.

    Restart - Will shut down the PC most of the time. Sometimes it will just Sign Out instead.


    If I leave the machine on long enough for the power settings to trigger sleep or hibernate, the Sleep issue occurs and I am unable to ever wake it.
