I still get the occasional (one out of 10 times?) auto restart issue after this, but much better than before. Now reconnect these devices and fingers crossed the machine will continue to behave as it should once again when you try and shut it down. If you are like me, the machine will now NOT restart anymore. I figured out a workaround - after the problem started occurring, with the machine powered off (or during its boot-up cycle in BIOS), physically disconnect all of the devices of which the drivers are causing this problem, then cycle through Windows startup / shutdown once or twice. I have several musical equipment (MIDI interface, Firewire Audio etc), and each of these device drivers would cause Windows to restart automatically after shutdown. Got so frustrated to the point I reinstalled Windows 10 and I shutdown the machine each step during the setup process to see at which point the problem is triggered.Īnd I found the culprit (which BTW indicates to me that Windows 10 is still a little buggy at this stage) - USB device drivers. The device or driver has made a request to prevent the system from automatically entering sleep. System Availability Requests:System Required Request The current power policy for PCI Express Active State Power Management (ASPM) is configured to Off.


Power Policy:PCI Express ASPM is disabled (Plugged In) The processor is not configured to automatically reduce power consumption based on activity. Power Policy:Minimum processor performance state is 100% (Plugged In) The computer is not configured to automatically sleep after a period of inactivity. Power Policy:Sleep timeout is disabled (Plugged In) The current power plan personality is High Performance when the system is plugged in. Power Policy:Power Plan Personality is High Performance (Plugged In) The following is the power diagnostics report, I also attempted to disable srvnet through elevated CMD to no success: It is odd considering clicking sleep has the same effect as clicking shut down, and therefore I can't seem to find any other people having the same issue. Holding the actual power button on computer for 3 seconds is the only way to successfully turn the computer off. So here we go, mind that I just upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday and the problems have only started since:Ĭlicking on "Shut down" shuts computer down, however fans and fan lights continue running and 5-10 seconds later computer starts back up.Ĭlicking on "Sleep" shuts the computer down, however fans and fan lights continue running and 5-10 seconds later computer starts back up.Īdjusting power settings to 1min to engage sleep mode, puts computer to sleep (or at least turns display off) while fans and lights stay on, about 2 mins later computer comes out of sleep (or display turns back on). I have also searched around for answers to my issue but none seem to have the same problem. First I want to apologize if this post is in the wrong section, I have never used these forums before.
