PC won't shutdown

[Sirr]

Hi everyone, I've been having some PC problems lately and when I shutdown my PC, it shuts down normally. But I noticed that when I turned my PC back on, google chrome was still open with my latest tab. After checking Task Manager, it says my PC has been on for 6 days straight. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

If this is in the wrong forum please forgive me, I have no idea what the problem is so it's hard to place this thread in the correct place.

Might be hibernate... 

 

Try type powercfg - h off into and Administrative command prompt then try shut down.

Fairly sure it has to do with a Windows Fast Boot technology thing, similar to hibernation. It just makes it to where you PC starts faster as far as I remember.

This worked! Thanks for such a fast response. What did this command do by the way? I'm assuming it modified the power plan in some way?

powercfg -h off  =

 

power configuration  > hibernation > off

It disables all hibernation features. This includes fast startup. It also gains you some disk space. I can explain more if you want.

No need. That command disables it automatically are fast startup is half hibernation, half shutdown.

Yeah it also causes some other issues like this among others.
