I use the start menu shutdown and the process goes into 'shutting down' then it looks like it shutdown because my screen is turned off but my computer led is still on and fan are running so i need to hold the power in order to shutdown
Select Choose what the power button does and then in the next window change the When I press the power button setting to Shut down.1. If you really want to use power button to shutdown your compuer, then go to Control Panel -> Power Options. Select Power -> Shut Down and it should propely shutdown your computer. The first recommendation would be: stop trying to use power button to shut down your computer.
If so, then two things must be at work here: 1) your power button is programmed to put your computer to sleep (instead of shutting it down), 2) your BIOS is configured to put your computer into shallow sleep state (S1), instead of deep sleep state (S3). It is going into S1 sleep state.įrom your description, it sounds as if you are doing this by pressing the power button. Your computer is not shutting down at all.
