Windows 10 restarts instead of shutting down
I upgraded to Windows 10 a while ago for the most part it works fine, but one day it stopped being able to shut down properly. When I tell it to shut down it does actually shut down but only for a second before it starts restarting. This problem has been going on for 2-3 months now.
I've tried a number of things including:
turning off fast start-up
making sure the power off switch is set to actually turn off the computer (in power options)
unplugging the battery for a while to let it reset
buying 3rd party software which claimed to fix the issue
using the console commands
unplugging all the USB devices and turning off the Bluetooth
reseting the PC (keeping my files though)
starting the computer up in safe mode and then trying to restart it from there
For reference I'm using a Lenovo E540 Edge which I upgraded from Windows 8.1 earlier this year. The only way to turn my computer off at this stage is to do a hard reset or let the battery run out (not ideal).
Please help - I've been scouring the internet with no luck and I really hope I'm just being a dunce.
