Some more things I did:
- Updated all my drivers with avast driver updater, as per some dude on reddit's advice
- did powercfg -requests, this popped up, I disabled it with "Powercfg -requestsoverride Driver “Legacy Kernel Caller” System". I then ran powercfg -devicequery wake_armed, 2 things popped up (pic). I tried disabling "allow this device to wake the pc" or w.e. in device manager, it worked for the keyboard but the nvidia usb C one kept resetting on every restart so I just disabled it. Point being, last wake, requests and wake armed are all clear now (pic), but I still can't shut it down without holding the power button.
- I also tried the recovery boot thing that lets you get into bios and shit and tried hitting shut down from that menu, didnt work
- Also, I hit shut down before going to bed last night and left it like that over night, I found some ms forum posts saying that it should come up with an error code within 2-3h max if it cant shut down, but I left it for about 8h and nothing happened, I could hear the fan going on and off during the night as if the PC is still on, when I got out of bed, fan still on, no error code, power light still glowing
Rockzcan you try a different OS? like make a live usb and test it there, that'll rule out if it's a hardware or windows fault
I don't have access to a usb right now, it would take me a couple days before i could try installing linux or w.e.
For what it's worth, I tried booting it in safe mode and shutting it down from there, didn't work either
