I have a brand new 2017 iMac on which installed windows 10 Pro. I installed the Bootcamp support software and for the most part the system works fine. Except for one annoying issue – I cant shutdown or hibernate the system it will only restart. I have done as much research i could and FWIW –
- Fast startup on windows 10 power settings is disabled.
- Installed and reinstalled Bootcamp windows 10 support software.
- Don't know if this is an issue the Intel Management engine.
At this point i am going to have to remove windows 10 and make do with windows 7 unless someone can help me with this problem. I am worries i have restarted so many time already it may damage the SSD or some other component of my shiny new iMac. Please help. Desperate!!!

iMac with bootcamp windows 10 reboots 3 seconds after shutdown (no fastboot, no wol)
I couldn't find a software fix but if you have any type of device or even a hub that supports USB PD connected to thunderbolt 3 port simply removing it while shutting down resolved my issue
by your description I couldn't tell if your issue is same as mine so do check what is connected to tb port
