Windows 10. Computer won't sleep or shut down.

Since upgrading from W7 Home Premium to Windows 10, when I select the power button and then sleep or shutdown, the computer will go through the process but never really shut down or sleep before it comes back on and goes through the whole boot process again.

I have asked this question on several W10 support forums and none of the things they suggest doing works.

Love W10 but would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Type in

Power button on the search bar, it will direct you to the Power & Sleep settings menu. There must be something amiss here.

 

 

Sent from my tablet thingy!

Been there done that. Everything is set to have it sleep or shut down. It just comes back on every time.

I have the same problem. Screen saver won't come on nor will the machine shutdown/sleep. From what I've seen, you need to runs sfc/scan from the command prompt. I've tried that, but am told I have to be in Adminstrator mode to do. Stupid thing is, I am the administrator. No one else listed as a user.

I get the same thing Darrell. It runs fine on my system and apps but I have to manually shut it down. Nice to know, I am not the only one.

Thanks.

Solution found! Sort of. I un-plugged my USB CH Yoke and Pedals, and it went to sleep as it should. It sucks, though, that one should have to un-plug USB devices to get it to work. :mad:

Darrell. Have you tried going to the device manager and right clicking on those devices and then properties and then power management and untick or tick the options to allow the device to allow the computer to power down or wake the computer. You can try it with each device. I know it's an option for network controllers, mouse, keyboard etc.

Have not done that yet.I moved my two USB items to a USB hub, and get the original problem. Nest step is what you suggest.

 

Thanks.
