1421628 2016-06-08 20:34:00 I have a task set on my PC to automatically shut it down at night. This has been working OK under Win7, but since I upgraded to Win10 it isn't happening. I have it set to only shut down if the machine is idle, so I'm assuming there is some task that is still running. I've looked at event viewer and can't see anything - how else can I check this out?

1421629 2016-06-09 10:38:00 anyone? Tony (4941)
1421630 2016-06-09 10:48:00 Try disabling fast start if you haven't already, have read some reports that it can actually stop a computer from shutting down.

If you turn it off you have to actually shut down before the alteration takes effect, a reboot wont work.

1421631 2016-06-09 11:00:00 i get it now and then. something keeps looking for usb drives, usb card reader light is blinking like mad. even get the odd explorer popup "insert disk" and its looking at the card reader.
it does eventually shutdown, just does each step very slowly.
