    Hello, my laptop turns on automatically after I shut it down. It turns on after a few seconds. My laptop is a Sony Vaio Model Number: VPCEC390X. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thank You

    Maybe a running process in the background acting like a reboot loop? Does the same in safe mode I assume?

    I closed some running process in the background and I tried to shut it down in safe mode; but both didn't work.

    Maybe the "allow wake timers" option is turned on? Not sure why it would be set to turn on immediately after shutdown (or if that is even possible), but may be worth looking at.
