Windows 8 won’t shut down

I have upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8, at first it was running smoothly but when I tried to shut down, it won't turn off.

I waited about  half an hour but it doesn't turn off. So I forcibly turned it off.

But when I turn it on again it shows a BSD.

I rather go back to Windows 7.

And please share an idea what is that problem

Hello,

There upon reviewing your question the problem might be the upgrade you did.

Maybe you should do a fresh copy installation of Windows 8.

I also suspected that the reason why you get a blue screen is because maybe because of the upgrade you got a driver issue. My suggestion is not upgraded. Do a fresh OS installation.

Have a nice day!

Hello, 

According to your problem system was working correctly right before the upgrade, 
In Windows 8 has offered new hybrid shutdown mode & this happen on a system when hibernation had been previously disabled.

Therefore hibernation will fails to work 
 
Please use below mentioned steps to resolve your problem: 
 
1. Go to the desktop and press Windows + X 

2. Then select Power options 

3. Then click on “Choose what the power button does” 

4. Go the “shutdown settings” tab 

5. Select “Turn on fast start-up (recommended)”
