"Shut Down" only enters Hibernate
Here's something strange! I tried to shut my computer down because of another problem, and I found that it only went into Hibernate. When I started it back up, programs were still running that would have normally been turned off when the computer shuts down. So I tried it again, making absolutely sure to click "Shut Down". After that, the screen displayed "Shutting Down.....", so I figured it must be. Then I turned it back on and it resumed as if only going into Hibernate. So then I clicked on Restart, and then it actually did shut down and start up from the Shut Down condition. But what if I don't want to restart, but just want to Shut it down and leave it off? Can't I do that now?
BTW, the reason I wanted to shut it down is because my flash drive keeps giving me problems. When I plug it in, it doesn't show up and under Drivers and Devices, it has a message about having a memory left from a previous session. I discovered that if I shut down the computer and then turn it back on, I'm able to use the flash drive again--at least until I unplug it and then plug it in again. Then I have to shut the computer down and restart it in order to use the flash drive.
So, shutting down is the only way to solve the flash drive problem, but now that I can no longer do that, is there a way to bring back the Shut Down feature to where it works again?
I have Windows 10 Home Edition, which was originally on the computer when I bought it a few months ago.
