When I shutdown via win 10 or power button my pc reboots.
Have checked settings for power button and seems fine.
It seems a PSU could do this although I am not experiencing any PSU issues. How can I determine what is causing the rebooting even when windows power shutdown after 10 min settings turn it off it reboots.
 
you have any restore points on Win 10?

Also this is only when you power down...it's not a reboot loop?
 
Boot from portable media (Windows, Linux), then shutdown. Does it shutdown or reboot?
 
root at j1nx in /apps/ps_mem on master
$ uptime
21:44:50 up 276 days, 10:06, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.05

Not a reboot loop. Only when I power down. I formatted drive as restore points also didnt work (was busy cloning win 10 to ssd and lightning struck).
 
I note when left alone it goes into sleep or hibernate mode without issue.
 
Forgotten: It is Windows 10, try to disable fast shutdown/startup (whatever is called, don't remember).
 
In boot bios as I dont find anything in power settings?
It is Windows feature, not a BIOS. Go to
Control Panel -> Power Options -> Chose what the power buttons do
Now click on the Admin icon option: Change settings that are currently unavailable
Tick off option "Turn on fast start-up (recommended)"

Save, done.
As a rule of configuring Windows 10 turn any "recommended" option off.

Dont have fast startup option. Will google around to trace it.

Can change a lot of things but no such option. Running a samsung 850 evo ssd.
 
Still an issue. Could PSU be cause somehow? It works perfectly and is a 650W.
Will try and connect itx build PSU.
 
Disappeared on its own after reloading windows
