    Win 7 rebooting instead of powering down

    I think there was a time in the past when XP or Vista exhibited similar problems?


    Just recently, when I click on the SHUT DOWN button, my PC foes off, then just restarts again. Sometimes this will happen 3 or 4 times before it actually does power down.

    No hardware updates have been applied, just the usual updates (and I have had to install 7 important updates individually during the last couple of days as the PC tried to update, then failed so reverted back - I had to do each one, one at a time).

    I don't think this is relevant to the reboot problem, as this started before these updates went on.


    Any suggestions?


    Paul.

    It's not what I thought it was (allow this device (ethernet, reag LAN?)) to wake up computer.
