After updating to Windows 8.1, I can't shut down my Windows

I have an with my Lenovo ThinkStation E30 7783-27G.
It ran fine with Windows 7 and also does with Windows 8.1. It only runs the native Intel HD P3000 Graphics, so no driver conflict should be present.
But with Win 8.1 the power down and sleep mode are broke; you have to press the power button for some seconds to shut it off when it hangs after a power down.
I've spent half a day testing all suggestions mentioned. The only things that "work" are:
 - Run ShutDown /s /f /t 0
 - Turn off (unmark) Activate Fast Start under power settings
I've also tried to disable the NIC and USB, safe mode, updating the P3000 drivers from Intel, resetting power settings, etc. No change.
So at least I can power off the machine by pushing the power button, but Fast Start and sleep mode are missing - and should the machine fall to sleep by itself, I have to force a power off to get it live again.
There has to be a simple way to debug and correct this issue which seems quite common when you browse the fora around.
I can provide etl log files if that can help.

I think the bigger issue here might be trying to run win8.1 on a system that never had that OS qualified.  I suspect there's a high probability there are some BIOS issues being encountered since the last BIOS for E30 was released well before win8.1 ever came out.
Since you state win7 doesn't seem to have any issues, I doubt there's a HW issue going on.  The next likely culprit would probably be BIOS.  Unfortunately there's not much chance of getting win8.1 BIOS issues addressed at this point since that product has been EOL for quite some time.

  • My update does'nt finish, and I can't shut down!

    bought my n95 today, charged the battery for 10 hours, and then after talking to some friends decided to dowload the latest software.
    Well, I did everything right. And suddenly my phone shut down, with fullcharged battery, and I just did as it said, and took out the battery, and pressed "retry",
    and now the updating of the software has stopped. it's not updating!
    I'm afraid to disconnect the cable, because the updates says that if I do do, my phone may stop working. And I can't shut down the update-window.. PLESE HELP ME SOMEONE? I just don't have time to bring my new phone in for service, so it HAS TO WORK! heeeeelp, PLEASE?

    Hi xcarmen
    Unfortunately that is just the worst time to get "phone recovery" message and it is highly likely that you will now have to visit a Nokia Care Point to have the software re-installed. Once the USB connection has been broken, Nokia Software Updater fails to recognize the attached device.
    I am not saying that it would have made the slightest difference here, but you are advised in FAQ to NSU to plug-in mains charger when updating phone software.

  • IPhoto update is taking longer so i can't shut down my computer.

    Hi
    I updated my iPhoto but has taken longer hours to complete. As such am not able to sigh out. All i get is "Your computer can't be shut down now, because the software is being updated".
    What could be the solution.
    Thanks in advance

  • I CAN NOT SHUT DOWN MAC AIR

    when I  updated my operation system yesterday,i can not shut down my computer

    Force shutdown by holding the power button in for about 10 seconds.  That should do it.
    Then do SMC reset.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Is this a POP account, or an IMAP account? Did you enable your account type in Gmail?
    You can verify whether or not you did (and enable it if you didn't) by logging into Gmail on the web. Then, open the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab on your 'Settings' page, and configure IMAP. After enabling IMAP in Gmail, make sure you click 'Save Changes' so Gmail can communicate with your mail client.

The volume on my movies & everything else worked...even when I would go into "settings" and adjust the volume of the ringtone. I knew it was something simple...Thanks again..

    rezala,
    You should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

  • Can't shut down after opening Java Control Panel

    Hello,
    I'm just a regular guy with Windows ME and since I installed JRE 1.4.2_02 (for Mozilla 1.5), I can't shut down my pc after opening the Java Control Panel. Javaw.exe stays in memory (Norton System Information) even after the JCP has been closed. This was not an issue with 1.4.1 beta which I used for a long time. Then I could open the JCP applet and make adjustments (minor, just whether or not I wanted it to be able to cache applets etc.) then I would close it and nothing interfered with shutdown.
    I have even tried Enditall2 and Sysinternals Process Explorer's close and kill functions and neither can close or kill Javaw.exe.
    I have very little running in the background and never had shutdown issues until installing JRE 1.4.2_02 and it works fine other than this issue with JCP and shutdown.
    Thankyou for any advice.

    Gave up, went back to 1.4.1_05, shutdown problem solved.
    Disappointed but at least Java works okay and I can adjust things in JCP applet without having to do the three finger salute twice each time. No more Javaw in memory when I close the applet.
    Played with Java Web Start's demos, seem to work fine, I guess. Really don't understand what JWS is for, not for us non-programmers?
