    FYI "Hibernate mode" is a power off mode - your problem is like going to sleep... which give me an idea.

    Does hibernate work?
    How to enable or disable Hibernate in Windows 10:
    1. Press Windows + X keys to open Power menu and select Command Prompt (Admin)
    2. To enable the Hibernate, type command powercfg /h on
    3. To disable the Hibernate, type command powercfg /h off

    Tried that, but it still does the same thing.

    No, but will check them for updates!

    what does going to a command prompt (as gc described above) and typing this command do?
    shutdown /s /t 0
    

    Tried that, still did the same thing. Left it overnight like that, and this morning battery completely flat!
    Really going off 10.

    Going off 10 also!

    Check in device Manager do you see any devices with yellow ! marks? In particular here you are looking to see if the Intel IMEI driver is missing.

    Is that for me? Will look.

    HP Support Assistant just popped up with a tune up... Maybe that will fix the problem!

    Plan B. (sorry if already suggested). Get latest driver for HD graphics...
    - On the Desktop, right-click on This PC and select Properties
    - On the left, choose Device Manager
    - Click the arrow next to Display Adaptors to expand that category
    - Right-click on Intel(R) HD Graphics Family and select Update Driver Software...
    - Choose the option to Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software
    - Your computer should find and automatically install the updated driver
    - After the installation is complete, restart your computer

    Installation failed. Error 80240020 seems to be a common problem.
    I noted 5 unsuccessful automatic W10 downloads on 29 and 30 July with the same error code.

    Clicking on it for further info produced a list of error codes, but not that one. :mad: I followed the ISO route mentioned above and W10 is now installed.

    Two aspects: the search engine defaults to Bing. There is a Google/DuckDuckGo workaround - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/microsoft/windows/11776236/How-to-make-Cortana-search-Google-in-Windows-10.html - but I haven't tried it yet.

    Also, I would like to continue using Chrome, which is automatically disabled. In another forum, I saw the advice to uninstall and reinstall Chrome. I did that but now can't find Chrome. Oh dear.

    No printer driver and failed to install and Canon say no W10 driver .
    After much messing i gave Win 10 a final warning circa John Cleese . It listened and a button appeared in Security and Maintenance install printer . I did and it worked .
    Amazing what the threat of a good beating can do for machines .

    My gut feeling is that a device or driver is the problem.

    A more forceful version of the command I posted earlier is
    shutdown /s /t 10
    
    Make sure you've saved everything and closed apps before using it because it should (in theory) force everything to close.

    Also, I note in one of the pictures there's what looks like a USB device which I'm guessing is Bluetooth or Wifi or something? What happens if you unplug that, and indeed anything else connected to the computer, before shutting down?

    The new Cortana functionality does use speech recognition.

    So maybe Cortana includes an algorithm that responds to threats?! ;)

    You don't have to wait. Download it from here (if you have more than one computer it may be worth downloading the "ISO" version and writing it to USB stick/DVD).

    Updated all drivers this morning including Intel HD Graphics Family! Have not tried to shut down yet, will try now and report back! Fingers crossed!

    EDIT:

    UPDATE! IT WORKED! LAPTOP SHUT DOWN PROPERLY!

    Thank you to everyone for your help and input! :T
