Predator PH315-52 bug: does not power off if Fast Startup is off in Windows
Predator PH315-52 running Windows 10 with all updates. New laptop. Pretty sure I've found a BIOS bug with this system.
Start Menu / Settings / System / Power & Sleep / Additional Power Settings / Choose What The Power Buttons Do / Turn On Fast Startup
Normally, Fast Startup is turned on in Win 10. What it does is - it doesn't actually do a shutdown. Instead, the computer goes to sleep when you click Shutdown. As long as this is enabled, my laptop "shuts down" (really, goes to sleep) just fine.
I need to disable this setting. For my development environment I need a clean start up every time; I need to do a true shut down at the end of the day, and then boot up from full shut down the next day. But if I disable Fast Startup, the laptop never shuts down. It seems to shut down, but instead it reboots.
With Fast Startup disabled, the laptop does a restart instead of shut down.
This is quite likely a BIOS issue. It's not an OS issue. I've disabled Fast Startup on all my other systems and it always works fine - the systems perform a true shutdown.
Doing a restart after power up would also solve my problem, but it's a waste of time. Additionally, "fast startup" is not really faster, it's about the same as startup from full shutdown, so I don't need it.
Where can I report this issue so it gets the proper attention so it will get fixed in a future BIOS update? Thanks!
