I have googled this issue and found a lot of problems like this for laptops but none for desktops.
My Windows 10 machine appears to being shutting down but then it does not. I use the start menu and then click power -> shutdown. I also use the shutdown button from the log in screen and it does the same thing. Just appears to be shutting down but never does. It does log me out though.
Command line shuts my PC down fine with "shutdown /s". This is not a solution. I want my power off(shutdown) buttons to SHUTDOWN my PC instead of logging me out.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
The proposed duplicate question deals with Win 10 shutdown problems, but different issues and the solutions do not apply.

To make the shutdown buttons shutdown the PC you have to change some settings in the power options.
