My laptop will not be closed unless I have press and hold the power button

Computer laptop MU shut unless I press the power button. There is no closing

Go to control panel-> Power Options control. Click on choose what the power button and the click of the left mouse.

Look at the options. Select other options to test.

Also, see the documentation that came with the computer or the web site of the manufacturer for other possible options.

It is possible that the laptop tries to install updates and the process is blocked somehow.

  • I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    There is no such thing as disabling Lightroom 5.7. Just uninstall the software.

    Looks like you have installed 6 Lightroom on two of your computers (including the MacBook Air). In this case, you must find and launch Lightroom 6 (not Lightroom 5.7 or any other version of Lightroom 5) on the MacBook Air and then in the menu help, select logout.

  • Press and hold the menu does not appear while composing email - iOS 10

    As per above, if you press and hold before type anything, the submenu would not appear.

    You must type something in front first, then press and hold to see the submenu.

    As on the new line without typing anything, submenu just appear in press and maintenance.

    This has never happened before on iOS 9, as I always have right now to insert any picture without typing anything.

    This is a bug in ios10. Thought I was going nuts trying to re - copy text in a different application and bring it back on my mail.

  • Internet connection no longer works unless I have disconnect and reconnect the wifi regularly

    I find that after a time random, maybe twenty minutes a half an hour or so, my internet connection breaks down and it can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi network.

    It is a problem on my iMac of retina 2014 running El Capitan and 2011 MacBook Air my wife running Mountain Lion (but not on my MacBook Air of 2011 which takes place in Yosemite).

    It does not seem to be triggered by almost anything, but it's maddening to have to do all the time. It's a router NetGear btw, less than a year.

    If anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it!

    Greetings, peederjigson!

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It seems you have some problems to stay connected to the Wi - Fi on some of your devices. This is not how it is supposed to work so I'll be happy to help you.

    Use the Diagnostics wireless for you help to solve the problems of Wi-Fi on your Mac - even with a new router, the firmware may need to be updated. But this article can go a long way to point out where it is.

    The potential of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference sources - because this is not the case with all your devices, it could be other things blocking the signal. Here are a few potential sources.

    Recommended settings for the WiFi routers and access points - because your router is "-ish" make sure that the settings are correct.

    Have a great day!

  • Muse is the only app that will not be updated. Stops at 37% and says the file is corrupted. Try again (26).

    I tried several times to update of Muse. All my other apps have no problem updating. I get this error message:

    Update failed. Download appears to be damaged. Please try to download it again. (26)

    Of course, this does not work. Tried over different days, different browsers. Even tried to download the file of the trial and got not found with a string of digits after him.

    Any ideas?
