Auto restart instead shutdown

How to solve the problem that Windows restarts automatically whenever you turn it off? I got a new power supply installed just before this problem developed. May be a hardware problem or rather than a software problem?

Hi hermes_803,

The question could be hardware related. However, you can verify if the following is useful.

    Hi Edberttjang,

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    Don't panic! I see that your Mac restarted unexpected. It can be difficult to explain what is happening without more information, although I have a few resources that can help.

    Since you have wiped the keyboard, is it possible that you hit a hotkey to stop, to sleep or restart your Mac? You can find a good list of keyboard shortcuts for the reference to Mac keyboard shortcuts.

    When cleaning your Mac, it of a good idea to turn off the computer and unplug power. For more information on cleaning of Apple devices, see cleaning your Apple products.

    Just in case your Mac restarts unexpectedly in the future, I recommend referring to this guide -OS X: when spontaneously, your computer restarts or displays 'your computer restarted because of a problem'.

    See you soon.

  • How can I disable the auto restart (following updates) for Windows 7 Home Premium (without messing around w / the register)?

    Hello.  About all of the weeks I have my upload computer files from one day to the next.  It's a 17-hour process, and I don't want the computer off or restarted during this process.  Murphy's law usually results in an update windows & restart related happening whenever I put my computer to download said.  First of all, it is deeply annoying that windows would reboot my computer without asking me (Yes, I realize he asks you, and if you are away for an extended period, he just goes ahead and does it... but really, what the $#! % is the point of asking you if she goes ahead and that anyway when you get him just enough early?)  Wow!  Incredibly retarted the Windows for this.)  But anyway, how can I disable this for Win7 Home Premium?  (As if in the first place is not quite annoying, making it virtually impossible to figure out how to turn it off is like adding insult to injury).  Please NOTE, I've seen some other forum post responses on this site that is: (1) link to an information page on the group policies for system administrators, but nowhere does really explain where and how to access these policies and change them!  (2) has a process that begins with 'gpedit.msc' running, but when I started > box to search for this file, there is no result.  (3) the hacking the registry (seriously?  Please, don't.)  SO, please tell me how to disable the auto restart, step by step, without messing with the registry, for WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to potentially re - activate cela in the future and/or switches back as my usage dictates.  And for the record, it's nut that's not a simple option toggle any, as when my computer or monitor sleeps...  Thank you!!

    Thank you.  I'll do it and change my Windows Update settings.  BUT, FYI, in an act even more incredible, the same night I posted my question here, my computer was said upload, and I was still in place at 03:00 (when Windows is set to d/l and install updates).  I went to the kitchen for a bit and returned to my computer to find a countdown - he downloaded updates and "will re-start in 7 minutes" or so and counting down... I said "AH HA!"  I caught you! "I clicked the button of REPORTER and went to bed smiling that I myself had saved wasting many hours of work.  But when I woke up the next morning... HE HAD DONE IT AGAIN!  This means that it is: (1) downloaded another "critic" (cough) update later in the evening, which seems likely because it took to do this at 03:00 and had already done so... or (2) the REPORTER button defers only during a certain period of time (maybe an hour, or even less, by the look of it) and then do it again anyway.

    This is ridiculous.  As it is not ridiculous to called 9 10 patches 'critical', so critical that an urgent restarting your computer is necessary EVEN IF HE is BUSY WORKING, the substitution of the computer user asks to postpone and reboot anyway is absolutely unacceptable.  How the manufacturers of Windows might think this makes sense, let alone was a good idea?  Reporter should make the computer restarts DO NOT until * I * say he is allowed to do.

    In this case, finish the work of 17 hours, that the computer was in the Middle has been MUCH more critical that whatever is downloaded updated.  NO doubt about it.  I know.  Apparently, my operating system is not smart enough to know.  So to take it upon himself to replace my reporter application is crazy.  And in addition, the operating system MUST be smart enough to understand this - it's really not that difficult - if the computer is a lot of work, something intense, a download that is not finished, a sort of bar of ANY progress on ANY application which is not 100% yet, etc., it should be smart enough to WAIT to reboot anyway.

    Thanks again once, change Windows Update settings so it will download updates but let me choose to install them, since this operating system is so poorly thought.

  • Close / sleep on vista computer functions to restart instead

    When I try to select "shut down," the computer still restarts instead, but then on the second try, it always stops. Also, when I close the laptop (that I have designated for sleep) or select the day before on the menu, he stops and restarts. This problem occurred a year ago, but disappeared for some reason, when I was in school, but now she's back.

  • Reference Dell E6410 auto restart after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have an old laptop Dell E6410, I need to update the BIOS in orden to use my SSD drive.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you are having problems with errors from the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) and auto restart. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

    If the automatic restart is disabled, I suggest you follow step 2.

    Step 2: I suggest you follow the steps to start in the last well known Configurations and verify if you are able to boot.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    If you are able to start, I suggest you download themini dump files "C:\Windows\Minidump" on Sky drive for assistance.

    The mean while, I suggest you perform the clean boot in order to isolate the problem and check which driver is causing the problem material.

    Follow the steps to perform material clean boot and check:

    a. go to start and type device manager in the start search field.

    b. type Device Manager and select device manager in the list programs.

    c. right click the sound card, video card and NIC, one by one, and then click on disable.

    c. restart the computer.

    If it solves your problem, allow hardware devices that in time to find the exact device originally this problem. After you find the device that causes the problem you can solve by installing the latest driver or replacement of the device.

  • Windows 8 restarts after shutdown

    I have a new computer I7 with Windows 8, and after two weeks of work very well now it reboots after I stopped it.   I have read many of the posts, but they seem to be for the installation of Windows 8 on Windows 7.  My computer never saw Windows 7.   This doesn't seem to be a common problem.  The only software I have loaded in addition to own Windows products are ESET (anti-virus), Adobe Lightroom 4, Google Chrome and GSAK (a database for geocaching).   Any thoughts on what could cause this or what I need to do to fix?

    I had the same problem when I select "Shut down" in the "Power" menu, it restarts in fact instead of power. After that, when I connect, it gives me an error message "send / do not sent" who says that my computer has encountered a problem when stopping down and it restarted.
    But the Solution obtained by following these simple steps of 5:

    1. If you are on the new screen startup, power supply , and Windows will automatically search for the term and will show you the results.

    If you are on the desktop, move your cursor to the top right of the screen to access the new Charms Bar. Now, click on the option Search and the power of type in the search box.

    2. now click on parameters of link given in law-bar side of search page results and then click on the link ' change this power buttons " given in the search results.

    3. it will open Power Options window. You can also open the same window by typing powercfg.cpl in the dialog box RUN and press enter and then click on the link ' choose what buttons power ' in the left sidebar.

    Now go down to bottom and you will see "Turn the quick start (recommended)" option in the settings to stop section.

    4 turn off the option by unchecking the check box, and then click the "Save Changes" button.

    PS: If the option is not shown or grayed out, scroll to the top and click on the link "Change settings that are currently unavailable" .

    5. it's her. Now all sweetness and light. No reboot and no message "recover from a mistake. Restart your system and your reboot or shutdown problems should get fixed in Windows 8.

  • No restart or shutdown Sierra

    I upgraded my MBP (mid-2015) to Sierra yesterday and now its not shut down or restart properly. Its get stuck on the black screen with nothing on it (not even a cursor). The display lights stays ON but nothing really from there, I even left there like that for more than 20 minutes. I Force shutdown by pressing the power button / stop for a few seconds.

    Step 1. Reset a SMC; Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    Step 2. Reset the PRAM but keep P-R-Opt-Cmd when you start. The MBP sounds once again, how you can release the keys.

    Step 3. make a start by holding down the SHIFT key until you see the progress bar. Once you get to the login screen, you will see "Safe Boot" in red next to the clock.

    Step 4. Reboot again and log in normally.
