something good to know if u have steam installed and a game file get corrupted while updating then that can break your system. so what i would do is uninstall the game with the corrupt file. you can tell if it’s corrupt if it sits a 100% download but it never finishes. so uninstall the game through steam or windows uninstaller.

Thank you for this video, I’ve been trying to fix it for hours. Turns out I had to change the power button options. You’re a lifesaver.

I flipped the switch to my power supply to off and let it set for 5 minutes. Problem solved. I tried all the other power management and driver things first. The simple solution was all I needed. Lol. Thank you!

Thanks! disabling fast startup to fixed shutdown problem for me. Although sleep still doesn't work.

None of these worked and the safe mode option froze my computer in the middle of it shutting down. My problem is that it gets to the point where the screen shuts off but the lights never go off and you can still hear the hard drive running. The only way to start it back up is to hold the power button down until it fully shuts off then turn it back on.
