Not fully shutting down

After upgrading to windows 10 from  windows 8.1 upon shutdown my laptop goes through all the normal processes but when the screen turns black the power light is still on any thing connected to the USB ports will still be running and the fan is still running. I have already tried to disable hybrid shutdown along with updating various drivers. Though for a short time after start up and logging in the lptop is able to shutdown normaly but after about 2-5 minutes of use the laptor will be unable to shutdown properly.

I would try resetting the system management controller:

  • Ff 33 does not fully shut down

    My FF v 33.0 stays open in processes under task manager.
    All my other browsers do fully shut down.
    I have reloaded FF on my virus/malware free computer but FF will not completely shut down.
    Very annoying.
    Please help

    Hello,
    Try opening in [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] and see if the browser closes properly after opening in that. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes). Since Firefox has trouble closing, make sure that it is not running in your Task Manager before opening in Safe Mode.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds.''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • ThinkpadYoga does not fully shut down or restart, only display off.

    hello lenovo helpers community
    Everytime I want to shut down or restart my Thinkpad Yoga (11e, running on Win 8.1. Pro), it doesn't fully shut down. The display turns off, but the red LED light remains on and I can hear the vents running.
    No matter how long I wait, it doesn't turn off. I always have to force the shut down with the power button on the side. This is really no solution.
    I have tried a couple of things that are recommended online, but so far, nothing helped.
    Examples of things I tried: power button options, energy options, registry, cmd shutdown -s -f -t 5, scanned virus etc., looked at the autorun list, registry scan (although I didn't really have high hopes on that one), updated all drivers and Win 8.1. Pro, ..
    Please help me, thank you!
    Best, Isa

    hello again
    well, I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm really sorry if I did! The mere fact that you took the time to reply tells me that you care a lot about this. So I will take the time to set this straight, as well.
    I did only have the experience with the German customer service hotline which, too, might be a factor. When living in the States for a couple of years I learned what service was truly all about, coming back here (to Germany) wasn't easy
    Either way, I base my feelings about the German Lenovo CS not on the fact whether or not they could help me, but on how easy it was to reach someone who would try to fix my laptop for more than just five minutes and how fast I was asked to send the laptop in, especially after I told them that that would be the last option (I live in the countryside and getting to the next post office or Lenovo service partner would require at least a 2 hour drive and I don't have a car).
    The M.Windows CS was nice and actually took 2 hours (!!) to figure out what was wrong via remote control, and gave me a couple of numbers to call in the area, that might be able to send someone over. So, although he couldn't help me, I felt like he really tried and took my situation into account. 
    I agree, that the final issue was hard to guess and also that it is weird that error notices were disabled. No one really knows though. Maybe just one with a hickup
    I will not give up on lenovo though, promise

  • Macbook Pro will not fully shut down!

    Recently my MacBook Pro will not shut down. It looks as if all programs close, the dock disappears, the desktop clears, and then there is the circle of dashes that comes on when the MacBook is turning on. The circle of dashes (I'm sure there's a better name for this!) just keeps going round and round. It will go forever. Eventually I hold down the power button to shut it down. My software is up to date. What's going on?

    or if you have another mac with no problems stick that sucker in T mode with a firewier and go throw disk utility from there.
    or if you go throw the installation disk dont fully install it as soon as you see the word utility on your tool bar. then hit repair disk.

  • Adobe Reader does not fully shut down

    After closing all PDF documets, Adobe Reader remains open. The Processes Tab in Windows Task Manager typically lists multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe after I close all PDF files. If I open a new PDF file, the PRocesses tab shows two instances of AcroRd32.exe. What causes this? What is the fix for this?
    Windows Vista Home Premium (32), SP2, Adobe Reader 10.1.4 (latest download availabe from the adobe web site.
    Thanks

    Hi Pat,
    Thank you for the information and the patches.
    I installed them, one at a time, rebooted, and tested the outcomes.
    10.1.5 – Adobe had run Adobe Distiller when I rebooted and checked Task Manager. This is the first I have seen Distiller listed in a long time. I opened an Adobe file. This added two instances of AcroRd32.exe to Task Manager. I closed the Adobe file. The two instances remained in Task Manager. I opened another PDF file without clearing the instances from Task Manager. This added two more instances of AcroRd32.exe to Task Manager.
    With only 10.1.15 installed and after doing some other things, I retested Adobe Reader.  This time, when I closed the PDF either by the X in the upper right hand corner of the file or by File / Exit from the menu, Adobe Reader shut down completely and did not leave any instances of AcroRd32.exe in Task Manager.
    10.1.16 – Could not find this patch file. Instead received this message in Firefox:
    The requested URL /pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.6/misc/AdbeRdrUpd1016.msp was not found on this server.
    Received a similar message in Internet Explorer
    10.1.17 – Downloaded, installed, and rebooted PC. Did not see an instance of Acrobat Distiller in Task Manager after the reboot.
    Opened a PDF file – two instances in AcroRd32.exe in Task Manager. Without closing the first PDF file, opened another PDF.  Momentarily saw two more instances of AcroRd.exe in Task Manager. Then they disappeared. Closed one PDF file using the X. Two instances remained. Closed the second file. Adobe Reader shut down completely and cleared both instances from Task Manager.
    Not sure what had been going on. For now, things seem to operate about as they should.
    Thank you, again, Pat. This will help keep my PC from hanging up after I view several PDF files. At times I have had 16 or 18 instances of the executable listed in Task Manager. That really slows down the PC.
    Kind regards,
    Jon Bergeson

  • Computer will not fully shut down

    I go to the apple sign in the upper left hand corner and click on shut down. When prompted with the countdown I go ahead and select shut down. I wait a few seconds and seemingly my computer shuts off. But I come back anywhere from an hour to a day later and it is still on ( the light is still glowing). I click on the space bar key and the screen pops up with the message "are you sure you want to shut down". Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Do you close the top before it is completely shut down?
    Because if you do, that puts it to sleep, even if you have
    selected "shut down".

  • HT203697 My mac mini (late 2012) won't fully shut down, this happens all the time. How do i fix this?

    My Mac Mini won't fully shut down. How do I fix this?

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • My iTunes will not stay shut down. It automatically restarts even without an iPod plugged in. How do I fix this??

    My iTunes, which is the latest version, will not stay shut down. No matter how many times I exit the software, it automatically starts back up. And NO, there are NO iPods plugged in. It's very annoying and is slowing down our desktop immensly. I've tried to find a setting to change it but I'm not a computer/iTunes expert. Can anyone help??

    try holding the home button and off button at the same time for about 10 seconds, it should restart

  • Some times my mac not getting shut down, some times my mac not getting shut down

    some times my mac not getting shut down, some times my mac not getting shut down
    it will show white scree for long time and will not shut down

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time when you had the problem – the text, please, not a screenshot. For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time. If the problem is a crash or a shutdown hang, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down.
    Edit out excessive repeats and personal information, if any.
    If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search the archived log, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
    Step 2
    Do the same with kernel.log.
    Step 3
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs – they're very long and not helpful.

  • MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.1) calendar continues to "connect to server" and will not allow shut down or restart. Force quit worked. How can I make this calendar "behave"?

    MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.1) calendar continues to "connect to server" and will not allow shut down or restart. Force quit worked. How can I make this calendar usable? The problem began after I updated to Maverick.

    babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
    MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
    It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
    MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
    When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
    If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
    Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?

  • Database system was not properly shut down

    Dear Mac community,
    I have just repaired a friends 800 MHz 17" Flat Panel Display iMac... Somehow the hard drive had become badly corrupted and the system was frequently shutting itself down and freezing with kernel panics as a result. I managed to recover my friends data using Data Rescue II and after using Disk Warrior managed to do an Erase & Install of Mac OS X (10.4.4).
    The iMac appears to be fine now except for one worrying thing that I have noticed in the console each time after restarting:
    Mac OS X Version 10.4.4 (Build 8G32)
    2006-02-02 16:20:47 +0000
    2006-02-02 16:20:50.962 SystemUIServer[201] lang is:en
    LOG: database system shutdown was interrupted at 2006-02-02 16:19:46 GMT
    LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/87904C
    LOG: redo record is at 0/87904C; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown FALSE
    LOG: next transaction id: 550; next oid: 82855
    LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress
    LOG: ReadRecord: record with zero length at 0/87908C
    LOG: redo is not required
    LOG: database system is ready
    Does anyone have an idea what this might be and how I can resolve the issue??
    The systems performance doesn't appear to be affected in anyway however it looks and sounds ominous.
    One other small thing I have noticed is that the iMac won't automatically put itself into sleep mode despite it being set to in the Energy Saver System Preferences. There are no external hardware devices attached such as a printer, firewire device, USB hub etc. I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM and this appears to have had no effect.
    Any advice / suggestions greatly appreciated!!
    Many thanks,
    Justin

  • To shut down, or not to shut down?

    I read somewhere that it is better not to shut down your MBP at night because it is programmed to do maintenance from 3AM-5AM. Is this true?

    lissermarie,
    There are also other benefits to not shutting down. Being able to build and keep a larger cache of "Inactive" RAM is one of them, leading to much faster application launch times in many cases.
    More importantly, perhaps, is that there is no compelling reason to shut down, over simply putting your computer to sleep. We have had several portable Macs, and none of them have ever actually been shut down (just restarted, mostly when running updates, etc.). In one case that I know of, we had an iBook that had an "uptime" of over 160 days. That's almost 6 months with no shutdown or restart!!!!

  • Satellite A100 does not "really" shut down

    Hey everybody!
    I have a Satellite A100 here and the problem is ... yeah, it does not really shut down. I can choose "Shut Down" in Windows and Windows shuts down, the monitor turns black and the notebook does not work anymore, but it does not turn off itself. The blue lights are still glowing. To switch off the system I have to push the on-off-switch for a few seconds.
    The problem occured three days ago. I don't think it's a virus (someone on the net assumed that), because the system has no connection to the internet and has'nt seen any usb-stick or whatever for at least half a year. The user told me he changed the energy-options from "Toshiba Power Saver" to "Desktop". Of course I changed it back, but this did'nt solve the problem. I also did'nt find anything helpful in the options. Anyone out there who knows the problem or knows what to do? :-)
    Greetins,
    coincidence

    Unfortunately, I can't. I choose "Shut down" in safe-mode and the operating system does a simple reboot. The notebook does not turn off at all.
    Thanks so far. :) Merry Christmas!
