Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16 reboots seconds after shutdown

16.04bug-reportingrebootshutdown

I've just updated my ubuntu 15 to ubuntu 16. Now, every time I shutdown, the computer reboots after a few seconds! I've already googled for solutions but nothing worked.
My computer is a HP probook 4540s.

Thank you

EDIT: One more piece of information: when I restart instead of shutting down, I can no longer access the internet (via wi-fi). Also, I can get my computer to shutdown without rebooting if a press ( a long time) the (hardware) power button.

Try to turn off your wifi from shortcut button for wifi / or from settings and your pc will not start itself.

Shutdown – Reboot After Shutdown on Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04

I experienced exactly the same problem on my new computer Intel i5-4440 processor and Intel DB85FL motherboard (4th Gen). First I faced this problem with Ubuntu 13.10. and subsequently after upgrading to 14.04 LTS.

I did the following recently to solve this problem of SHUTDOWN and automatic REBOOT again withing a second or two.

I have Intel Visual BIOS. On power up I pressed F2 > POWER > Wake On LAN from S4/S5.

This has 3 options. 1. Stay Off, 2. Power on - Normal Boot, and 3. Power on - PXE Boot. My computer was set to #2, which was making it automatically REBOOT after SHUTDOWN. I now changed to #1 option mentioned above. Now it is okay.

Hope this would work for you as well. Best wishes.
