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.

[@potatoo4]

Omg thanks man the same thing happened with me today and I was wondering what was wrong and why my pc won't shut down
I uninstalled all my games and steam and now it shuts down properly

[@Kooldood.]

If I already uninstalled steam, should I just redownload it? Or am I able to see which game corrupted my computer through the computer settings?

[@potatoo4]

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!

[@TengokuInc.]

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.

I remember trying to disable fast startup on my PC but when I did disable fast startup - after shutting down my PC - the PC would then power itself back on again. The PC would do this only moments after being 'shut down'.

Also just wondering what this does
Step 1: Open the Settings menu > System > About. Step 2: Choose Related Links and tap on Advanced System Settings. Step 3: Under the System Properties sections, go to Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings. Step 4: Then, uncheck the Automatically restart choice under System Failure and press OK.
