Windows 10: Windows 11 Shut Down, Reboots after 3 Minutes

All, when I shut my computer down I got to the start button and hit shut down and it does, however, after about 3 minutes it boots back up. I went into the power settings and changed never to sleep or hibernate, I also left the start-up unchecked. Is there somewhere else I need to do?

windows will shut down in less than a minute

I'm referring only to fast shutdown tweaks under Step 13 of the linked tutorial.



Note
13. Speed Up Windows Shut Down Time

You can set and adjust the AutoEndTasks, HungAppTimeout, WaitToKillAppTimeout, and/or WaitToKillServiceTimeout values for how long Windows waits for hung programs and other programs to save data and close before shutting down.


I'm not suggesting anything else relating to fast startup or whatever.

Those Step 13 tweaks don't affect reboot or updates.

Example:

Improve startup & shutdown using registry settings
