    windows not shutting down


    When I go to start -> power -> shut down, my PC does nothing. Then a random amount of time later, from 20 minutes to hours, my PC will randomly shut down, then stay on the blue screen with "shutting down" and a spinning circle on it until I hold down my power button for 5 seconds. I have contacted Microsoft support twice, and after turning off fast startup, running the disk check command and power troubleshooter, a windows reset, and more disk checks and turning off fast startup, the issue still persists. I have only had this PC for not even 2 weeks at this point and I don't want to have to hold down my power button for 5 seconds every time I turn off my PC for fear it will corrupt some files of something.

    Can somebody help me please?


    Edit: also, when it does not shut down, if I go to task manager -> processes my C: drive does not show up, only one of my usb drives specifically drive E which and none of my other usb drives. They show up on file explorer though.

    :)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Windows 10 is unable to complete shut down

    We suggest doing these troubleshooting steps below:

    Method 1. Hard Reset

    • Shut down your computer.
    • Remove the cable and wires connected to your computer.
    • Press the Power button for 10 seconds to completely drain your device.
    • Check if there's any changes.
    Method 2. Shutdown trick.

    • Press Windows key.
    • Press and hold Shift.
    • Click the Power icon.
    • Select and click Shutdown.
    Let us know the outcome.
