    Hi all,

    I have cross posted this to the windows forum so sorry if you have already read it.

    Windows 8 came preinstalled on this laptop and works fine apart from shutting down/restarting. Fairly regularly it stalls on the "shutting down" screen indefinitely and can only be fixed by holding the power button down.

    I tried disabling the fast boot option which was suggested elsewhere but that didnt work.

    Has anyone had this issue?

    Thanks in advance

    A
