Windows 11 Restarts After Desktop Shut Down
After two weeks of shutting down from the desktop icon, my Lenovo AOI is restarting after.
To troubleshoot, I have:
-Disabled fast startup
-Turned off PCI Express>Link State Power Management
-Set the Power Button to shut down option
-Disabled the Hiberboot
-Disabled the Start and Recovery Automatically restart option
What I am not able to do:
-When I go to Winlogon, the is no Power Down - Shut down option. I have not added one
-When I enter powercfg -h off, a "power" command is not a valid is the return
-When I open Network adapter to select it to not to power the system on. There is no power tab option. My system is Modern Standby, so Power tabs are not present. I can edit the registry to put the system to S3 and return the power options. What I've found out online is SO alone would not be the cause for a restart after shut down
I have run both a DISM and sfc /scannow. No corrupt files were found.
My computer was purchased this September, and as I mentioned was working fine. The only issue I could think of is a Windows update done about two weeks ago. I haven't uninstalled those yet and have had an update since. The issue was not rectified.
I am able to shut down by the manual button. The computer runs fine in every other function. I suppose I could do a reinstall of Windows 11, but it doesn't seem worth the effort.
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks.

The solution is inside the registry and I shared a video in my youtube channel HANYADELUSA to add shutdown button to the Desktop context menu to facilitate this job for you and I shared the downloadable link for the registry script to add the new button to your desktop context menu
