    Windows 10 restarts rather then shuts down


    Hi

    I have had this issue now on 3 different windows 10 systems 2 of my own and also my wife's.

    Up until recently it was rare but in my case it's happening even couple of days it seems.

    I go to shut down and rather then shut down it puts me right back at my log in screen.

    The only way I can then shut down is to go into my power settings and turn off fast start up and then save it and shut down and is fine then. I then go in on next start up and enable fast start up again and is fine for a few days then it starts doing the same thing again.

    I did google this as that is how I found out how to get around this but is there any idea with Microsoft is going to address this very clear bug in the system as if it was just me I might think it's my system but where all 3 laptops have experienced this as have others it's clearly an issue with Windows 10.

    Any updates on when this will be fixed or if there is a fix already out there that I can download to fix this issue or setting I can adjust that will fix this and still let me keep fast start up active?

    Thanks
    Dave

    :)

    Random shut down and restart??

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz
    2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
    Windows xp

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Windows 10 restarts rather then shuts down :confused:*Mad Windows 10 restarts rather then shuts down :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

    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
