It could be due to software or hardware issues, resource overload, or improper shutdown settings.
It could be due to software or hardware issues, resource overload, or improper shutdown settings.
Here are your specifications rephrased:
- Windows 11 Pro on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero (latest BIOS)
- Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000 RAM (2 x 32 GB sticks)
- Intel Core i9-13900K processor
- Occasionally the PC remains powered on for several minutes after shutdown in Windows, even though fast startup isn't used
- The system stays active during shutdown, similar to what happens during the first boot when memory testing occurs
- This behavior is unusual and hasn't been observed before
Enable the option to disable Windows Fast Startup through the Power Settings menu.
It's already OFF as stated. And power profile is set to maximum performance. Not that I can see or hear (it's a nvme ssd and the HDD led is not blinking). Remember that the "Windows shutting down" with the spinning wheel is off and the monitors LEDs turns orange then the PC does nothing and after a couples minutes the PC turns off. During that time fans are spinning.
I didn't see any EventViewer logs indicating a timeout for an application or driver. Did you want me to look for something else?
I noticed you meant fast start-up, but I didn't verify before writing. I rarely use EventViewer (I can't locate anything). Could you share tips on filtering messages? Next time I'll record and then review the EventViewer logs.
Newest updates first, highlighting relevant details around that period.
Launch EventViewer and navigate to Applications And Services Logs. Select Microsoft, then Diagnostics-Performance, Operational Click Filter Current Log. Enter EventID 200-300 in the box and click OK.
Run the software adjustments and turn on detailed output during shutdown and startup. It has a name that stands out, making it easy to notice. Check how long it’s consuming time.
