Desktop AND Laptop restarting on shut down

[Simarick]

Since I've upgraded to windows 10 a couple weeks ago, I've come to notice in the last couple days that when I press shut down from the start menu, typing shutdown -s -t 0, etc. it does not completely shut down the computer. It starts to go through the process, it says it's shutting down, monitors turn off, but the power light stays on and it just restarts. I have only gotten it to shut down correctly about 85% of the time through the login screen and pressing and holding the power button (which I know I should refrain from). I am completely up to date on windows. I have not made any hardware changes since my upgrade to 10. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

This issue has also now come up on my Lenovo G50 laptop. Same shtick, says it's shutting down but ends up restarting, never shutting down completely. I also have since reverted to Windows 7 on my desktop and have no issues. I have unchecked the hybrid shutdown box on my laptop but no help.

By hybrid shutdown, do you mean the fast restart setting in power options? If not, I'd disable fast restart. You may need to click on the "show hidden settings or settings not currently available" option in power options in control panel.

If that doesn't work, do a clean install. Some settings from the previous OS that have been transferred to the upgrade may be incompatible with the features and settings in Windows 10, which creates a problem.

Yeah that is what I changed and it didn't do anything. I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to clean installs, always seems like so much work even though they aren't. Thanks for your help, though.

It might be worthwhile to reset the bios to default settings, save and reboot. In some cases resetting the EFI hardware tables in this way allows Windows to check itself.
