Laptop Help
Is there anyone here that is versed in computers?
My laptop refuses to shut down.
I've tried every kind of tutorial online and I updated the BIOS from HP's website but still, when I click 'shut down' it goes right into re-start.
I'm just about ready to give this thing a beat down.

try this:
open command prompt as Administrator:
- click on the start menu
- type in 'cmd'
- right-click on 'cmd' and select 'start as Administrator'
once the command window comes up, type in the following (minus the single quotes):
'shutdown -s -f -t 0'

Unplug and pull the battery. Once dead, it will dump the volatile memory in RAM, flush caches, and clear things that won't go away with a reboot.
Beyond that, Stay off those sites! You'll go blind!

Joelski beat me to it... May be a virus... Eric the moderator is the local computer guru, send him a PM.
The best way to survive a violent encounter is to be the one inflicting the most violence.

LOL
Battery is built in, but that said it was fully removed and replaced about a week ago with a brand new battery.
Both before and after it will restart rather than shut down.

If the battery is built-in, it should make an excellent clay pidgeon substitute! Or it it's a MacBook, try pressing and holding the Power button and Wonder bar at the same time..
Edit: HP... Sounds like a Chromebook if the battery is non-removeable. I revert to the first part of my response. Not a fan of not being able to hard boot my HP lappy; it's happened a couple of times from a frozen display.Last edited by Joelski; 23 September 2020 at 16:43.
