Shut down does not work win 8

I have been trying windows 8 enterprise evaluation version for about 3 months and I've experienced problems with shutdown.
I hoped this problem would be solved with the official version but it seems that I was wrong on that point.
I frequently couldn't shut down my laptop. I press alt+f4 on the desktop or go to the settings charm to turn off the laptop and whatever option I hit there nothing happens, except for log off and sleeping mode.
Then I have to manually turn off my laptop. I had it often with the evaluation version. And yesterday it happened with the final version, which I bought, too.
Specs of my laptop are: Acer Aspire 7530, AMD Athlon 2.10 GHz, 4GB RAM, 32 bit win 8 pro.

thanks, I'll give it a shot next time it happens.
but that won't solve the problem! there must be some error in the code which microsoft should deal with!
edit: it didn't work either :(
Hi
This issue may be caused by compatibility problems with the Fast Startup component.
Perform the following.
Open
Control Panel / Power Options.
Left side menu, select
Choose what the power buttons do.
Select
Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Scroll down to the
Shutdown settings section.
Remove the check mark from the
Turn on Fast startup option.
Click the Save Changes button.
Test to see if this resolves the problem.
Regards

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

    When my mac finally turns on the date/time is reset a windows pops up saying, "Your computer's clock is set to a date before January 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erractically."

  • Xperia Z1 keeps shutting down does not restarts,and automatically stops and starts charging randomly

    My Sony Xperia Z1 keeps shutting down due to high temperature even though its not overheated, or i am not running any app. It does not restarts even after i give it some time to cool down as it soon again displays the same messege (SHUTTING DOWN DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE), then when i connect a charger it automatically starts charging and discharging (even though if the charger is connected and ON) the cell phone
    I request you to kindly look into the matter, expedite the situation and suggest me any possible solution asap
    also i would request you to not to release any OS updates unless they are fully stable and functional, i have bought this device 6 months back and it has already malfunctioned 3 times which is a serious concern. I cannot keep on updating and repairing my cell phone after every month or so which i feel is very irritating.
    Please stop treating these devices as developers guinea pigs

    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
    How to backup?
    If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

  • Deleting applications by holding them down does not work

    They cannot be removed even from another device that I used to restore the account (iCloud), thus it means that there must be something in the settings or a configuration problem. Any suggestions? Deleting the applications is possible via iTunes, but it is a workaround, not a solution to the actual annoance.
    The original phone that had the problem is iPhone 4S and after recovery the same issue presents itself on an iPhone 4.

    Ok. The original title is a bit of a misnomer. What I mean that there is a way to remove applications by holding the icon down on iPhone and to wait for the X to appear on top right side. Applications can be moved around and arranged into groups, but the icon does not appear.
    With my other Apple ID and all other devices this works as it should. On my wife's account this doesn't.

  • My new MacBook Air shut down +does not detect battery + won't charge

    My MacBook Air is only a few months old and at random it shut down and when I restarted it the computer did not recognise a batter. I tried to charge the MacBook but the light on the charger did not turn on at all and the charger was not recognized at all. The MacBook does not detect any wifi's at all aswell

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
    Try resetting SMC before that.

  • Satellite P10 - start up/shut down are not working

    I hope someone can help me. My Satellite P10 is having problems starting and shutting down.
    When it starts up, it goes to a black screen with white wording, asking if I want to start windows normally, or in safe mode etc - it won't let me start it normally so I choose the option 'last good start up files' (or similar wording).
    The pc then carries on starting up. I did a system restore but it's made no difference. Once it's started up, it's a lottery whether it's going to be ok, or whether it's in the process of crashing.
    To shut down, I've got to push the off button, there's no other way it will shut down.
    I've run avg, spybot, lavasoft adaware, xsoftspy, registry mechanic, spywareblaster etc but there doesn't seem to be anything 'wrong'.
    The only thing I've installed recently is the new avg 7.5 and legacy family tree software - I downloaded both programmes from the manufacturers sites. Avg is free, although I might just have visited a crack site for the code for legacy :)
    I would really appreciate it if anyone is kind enough to give me some advice :)

    Hi Joao
    I have had a bit of luck so far - I downloaded a little executable which checks for trojans - I had been infected by ntrootkit. I managed to get rid of it (switch off system restore, run security software, edit registry & reboot) which has in turn sorted out the start up and shut down problems.
    However, I'm still getting problems - when I start up, it's in the lap of the Gods whether I need to reboot before I can open my broadband software.
    Also, when it's playing up like that, I get a 'beep' when I try to stop processes through task manager. I've got a horrible feeling that it's the motherboard. Once I've rebooted, it's fine again.
    This is driving me nuts... if anyone has any ideas on this latest development, I'd be grateful!!

  • Start Up and Shut Down Schedule not working

    Mac Mini CoreDuo running EyeTV 2.3.2 as my PVR.
    External MacPower MD-9 hard drive connected via FireWire.
    I want the mini to start up each evening at 6pm, and then shut down around mid-night using the Schedule button in Energy Saver.
    Problem is EyeTV hangs on shut down, and then it refuses to start up the next evening.
    External drive is on a timer switch so in theory it comes on before the Mini starts, and shuts off after it is supposed to go to sleep.
    Any ideas what is causing this? Dead PRAM battery?

    if it is less than a year old, then the next best thing to do wwould be to get it to the nearest resonable apple store to get it cheked out because it should still be under warenty.
    or you could check to see if there is another person with fan problems to see how they solved their problem.
    but this is as much as i know. i will stil try to help if i can

  • Search for missing nearby photos does not work (Win XP Pro)

    nothing ever happens, just the 0% next to Lightroom on Windows taskbar can be seen for any length of time. When trying to cancel the task, also nothing happens, just the information "cancelling" which can be read in Lightroom window just below the "Search for nearby missing..." and next to it a red cross.
    This function worked fine for me in Lightroom version 1, but since upgrade to v.2 no longer.
    Another strange thing is, that when trying to restore LR from Win task bar, the left click has no function, only by rigth click and thereafter click "Restore".

    Hi
    I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
    What you need is the right driver.
    The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
    You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
    This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
    Cheers

  • Battery does not charging more then 43%! PB shuts down, does not go to slee

    Hello
    after 223 cycles (at the moment) my battery did something weird. I was surfing internet with 50% of charge and my PB turned off
    i pluged in the adaptor and when PB turned on it said that time was reset to 1970 year bla bla bla (PMU reset) after what battery charging level increased up to 43% LED became grren and my battery indicator stopped at 43% and that is it
    26 month PB 12" (as shown in System profiler)
    i tried to use my pb on battery again and again near 5% it switched off (but should go to sleep mode) and my date and time settings reset to 1970. Again my battery wont charge more then 43%
    How could it be?
    Thank you in advance

    i had a similar problem not once, not twice but THREE times. the only difference being that my battery would charge to "100%" only to just switch off at 80% then a few days later 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, etc until a point where only a few minutes unplugged caused the computer to switch off and the date reset.
    for me the issue caused a dead hard drive (i assume from being hard switched off so often)
    after my computer chewed through a second battery the same way, theory was devised that the logic board was messing up the power management. one replaced logic board and in a short time another battery down.
    at the moment i am waiting for it to be looked at under warranty for the fourth time and honestly feel like as much as i enjoy using osx, i can't really justify another apple purchase .
    i hope the road to finding what is wrong with your computer is easier than what it has been with mine.

  • After installing Lion, mouse up and down scrolling does not work

    After installing Lion, scrolling with an Apple mouse up and down does not work. Horizontal scrolling does work.

    Hi guys. First, check the scroll outside of Firefox. Is it working?
    Second,
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
    Select '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
    Then restart.

  • Touch pad scroll does not work in firefox minefeild but works in firefox 3.7

    Love Minefeild, but have notice that my touchpad scroll up and down does not work. This function works fine in Firefox 3.7 and other software. I am using the lastest nightly builds. Is there a solution?

    Sounds like your scroll pad drivers need to be updated, but considering that Firefox 4 is months away from being released the new drivers might not be available yet. Check with your manufacturers website in the software / drivers downloads section for newer drivers.

  • 9360: Down volume not working

    I've had my curve 9360 for about 3 months now and the side button to turn the volume down does not work. I basically have to reset my phone to lower the volume as there is no other way of changing the speaker volume. Is this a software problem or definitely something wrong with my hardware? It is starting to really bother me now and I am hoping that someone knows a quick fix for this.
    Thanks for any help someone can provide.

    Hello !
    Your problem seems to be more likely a Hardware problem.
