    PC freezes while shutting down/restarting, have to force shut down

    Basically after just a few seconds of shutting down/restarting the PC just completely freezes with the spinning circle stopping and it never shuts down until I force shut down. This has been happening for a few days now.

    I have tried to look up solutions myself but every video I've seen on the issue the spinning circle keeps going rather than freezing so I think my problem might be different.

    I tried basic stuff like sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f, dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, and also in gpedit I enabled the highly detailed status messages but the only text that shows before it freezes is shutting down/restarting so I can't figure out where it's having problems shutting down. Looked in the event viewer as well even after waiting over a half hour at the frozen screen but I can't see anything obvious that sticks out, in both the application and system sections.

    However in safe mode I'm able to shut down/restart normally, so perhaps it could point to a software issue?

    UPDATE: I also asked this question on reddit and someone suggested that it could be a BIOS update that I recently installed because he has seen several HP PCs that had the problem with failed shutdowns. I don't know how I can go about reverting the update or perhaps I can factory reset BIOS?

    I tried to recover the BIOS with Win + B and holding the power button for 2-3 seconds like it says to do for HP and although it said it recovered the BIOS, it didn't revert the version back to default so I'm still having this issue. No guarantees it would solve the issue but I think it's likely, any suggestions?

    Download Speccy | Find your computer specs, free!
    Download Speccy please, and then post a pic of all your specs..

    It is lot that is missing there in your profile.

    I'm especially interested in the details about the network, memory and graphic. Also the motherboard and the drive(s).
    It will look like this in the Main menu. Push the blue print for seeing the details.
    And try to have a little quicker frequency than 6hours between everytime you post an answer.

    I'm not sure, but your PC is probably HP 590-p0103wb Pavilion.
    Luckily, HP has comprehensive troubleshooting and testing programs available. I think you should try them first.

    PC freezes while shutting down/restarting, have to force shut down

    Imgur: The magic of the Internet (may have to open in new tab to read a few of them)

    These are my specs. Also have screenshots of the details on the network, memory, and GPU (which is integrated).

    And yes I have an HP PC and I tried the hardware diagnostics tool and everything passed the extensive tests.
