How to Fix Sudden Restart/Shutdown Problem in Windows 10/8.1/7 [Tutorial]

Commands Used:
chkdsk /f /r
sfc /scannow

Sometimes, when you first install your Windows 10 operating system, or Windows 7, Windows 8.1 for that matter, you might experience some shutdown problems. When you select the reboot feature on your system and your device is shutting down instead. Or perhaps when you select the shutdown feature or the sleep mode, you PC will just reboot instead of shutting down or entering sleep mode.

It sounds weird, but when you click that power button on the start menu to shut down Windows 10, you’re not shutting down Windows 10. Sure, Windows 10 goes through the motions of shutting down. And your computer sure looks like it shut down. And it sort of did, but it didn’t.

This is an older Windows 10 quirk, but one worth highlighting every now and then in case you forgot that “shut down” isn’t really “shut down.” What you’re actually doing when you shut down your computer is putting it into a hybrid state, the “fast startup” feature enabled by default in Windows 10's settings

The shutdown problems in Windows 10, Windows 8.1 usually come along side the Hybrid Shutdown feature introduced first in Windows 8 systems and also in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 systems. This feature is meant to decrease your device’s start-up time but unfortunately when you have shutdown problems in most of the cases it is caused by this feature. You don’t have to worry because we will show you below how you can disable the “Hybrid Shutdown” feature and fix your Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 operating system.

Thank you. I'm breaking my windows in order to fix Red Dead Redemption 2. My windows start hanging on the reboot after changing ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1 and later moving page file from C: to F: This was suppose to make game run longer without crash. The game seems to have some kind of memory leak. Always crash when Ram usage reach in between 11-12 GB. and it's climbing from 8.5 GB to 11-12 GB in about 30 to 60 minutes depend what you do. Traveling trough the world a lot will make it crash faster.
