I just did a Windows update for my 8.1 and now whenever I start my laptop it goes to a soft shutdown after being on for 10 seconds. I have tried to get to power settings but can't get in the few seconds my computer is on. How do I fix this automatic shutdown issue?
My machine won't give me time to do anything it shutsdown as soon as it comes up any advice?
Start your own thread. You don't know it is an OS issue and windows 10 is out if you want to install it as a preview. Otherwise, if your OS was fully updated you would have a windows 10 reservation button in the system tray of the task bar.
It is an OS issue.
My computer is a top-line that is only about 10 days old running 8.1. It has shut down on me randomly at least 5 times since I got it. No warning, no nothing. Just blue screen of death and error.
This is an OS issue. I want my Windows 10. This is ridiculous, and if my computer previously had not literally gone up in smoke, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to *Vista* to avoid this.
Seriously. How can a product like this hit shelves?
Try deactivating your bluetooth...
