Unable to shutdown the PC installed with Windows 10

Old title: shut down problem with windows 10

I upgrade to windows 10, all seems to work fine including shut down, but suddenly I can't shut down. When I try to click on the windows symbol in the left bottom corner , nothing happens. I can only shut down by switching the lab top off.

 

Hello Scopio, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

As a test, temporarily turn off Fast Startup, and see how your PC shuts down afterwards. Fast Startup can sometimes cause shut down issues that may be related to this.

I've had NO shutdown problems for about 15 years..... since I started using a "Quick Shutdown" icon on my desktop, to shut down my PC's. The syntax has changed since XP, but it still works a treat. In both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, my shutdown times run in the 5 to 8 second range.

Try this, , ,

Shut Down Computer in Windows 10

create a New Shortcut on your desktop, using the following syntax:

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 1

Spaces can be important, so just Copy & Paste the above line into a New Desktop Shortcut.
Then to aid the shutdown process, close all running programs before you click the Shutdown Icon.
Good Luck!
