Did you know Shut Down in Windows 10 don't actually shut down your computer ?
The Kernel is still active in the background, it allows for a faster restart. If you want to really shut down your computer you need to disable that function. Here's how to do it.

In the search windows type : Control Panel

Select Hardware and Sound

In the power options click : change what the power buttons do.

At the top of the window click : change settings that are currently unavailable.

This would allow to uncheck the boxes that are greyed out at the bottom of the window.

Uncheck : Turn on fast startup. If the option is not there for you, that means your computer doesn't have that feature and is already turning off completely by default.

Done.

Now when you shutdown your computer, it will actually do it completely.

You need to cut it off from the power source to actually shut t down. That means shut off the power bar (strip) or unplug the computer. No lights on.

I'm a sys admin, and although you over complicated getting to the power settings, you are correct.

Everyone who says turn off, unplug, etc isn't taking laptops into account. Yes, a desktop computer turned off, unplugged, is definitely off. This is geared towards laptop owners.

Latent weak wifi could still keep idled rather than truly off.

Fully disconnected and faraday blanket only way to be sure.

You can fix this permanently by installing Linux. And even then only if ACPI is functioning properly.

I updated to Windows 11 about 6 months ago. It's slightly faster than Windows 10, but I don't like that they removed the thumbnail previews on the folders.

Re: Did you know Shut Down in Windows 10 don't actually shut down your computer ?
windholes has had this since win 8

it's called: hybrid sleep

is a variation of hibernation


hybrid sleep closes, logs off, and unloads the user session from memory
and then saves the state of the OS and Drivers to the HDD / SSD

if you want it to go through the whole shut down process

hold the shift key while clicking shutdown

this forces a full shut down
and a full start up next time you start the machine
