not turning off

[azspeedbullet]

Since it came out, i have been using the consumer preview build without any problems. Recently, a few days ago windows updates installed a few updates and now my computer wont turn off when i hit shutdown. The montiors get turned off right away. I dont have this problem eariler when i started using the consumer preview or when i dual booted into windows 7. How come my PC is not turning off when i hit shut down?

Hmmm... that's pretty odd. :s

Have you tried to put it in Sleep mode? See what happens

Sleep mode works. The only way i can turn off my computer is by hititng shut down and then press and hold the power button for a few seconds

Go to settings, and 'Refresh your PC'

Turn off the hybrid boot. This trick worked on the aplha builds :)

I have the same issue frequently on two different systems. Going to try Palpatine's suggestion.

I too have this issue, but it seems to be gone now. Sometimes it comes back. I don't even-

I have this too. It's extremely strange.

Where is the Hybrid Boot option please?

Where is the Hybrid Boot option please?

Right click Start corner, choose Power Options, then choose Change plan settings for the plan you want to change.

Next Choose Change advanced power settings. Open the Sleep item and you'll find Allow Hybrid Sleep. Change this to Off.

If you use multiple power plans you'll need to repeat this for each plan.
