First what is your laptops model number so that we can give you more of an exact and precise fix for your laptop. Anyway, try these basic solutions to fix your problem and see how you go:

1. Power Cycle:
   • Detach the power source cable from your laptop.
   • Press the power button to close it. If it doesn’t respond, press and hold the power button for more than 3 seconds to force shutdown.
   • Remove the battery.
   • Press and hold the power button for more than 20 seconds to drain all charges from components.
   • Put the battery back and connect the charger.
   • Boot up your laptop and check if it resolves the issue1.
2. Change Power Plans:
   • Open the Control Panel by pressing Windows + R, typing powercfg.cpl, and hitting Enter.
   • Go to “Choose what power buttons do.”
   • Ensure that the “When I press power button” dropdown menus are set to “Shut down.”
   • Click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable” and untick the “Turn on fast startup” option to disable fast startup1.
3. Prevent Devices from Waking Up Your Laptop:
   • Certain devices (network adapters, keyboards, mice) can wake up your computer.
   • To find out which devices can wake up your laptop, open an elevated Command Prompt (search for “cmd,” right-click, and choose “Run as administrator”).
   • Type powercfg -devicequery wake_armed and press Enter to see the list of devices.
   • Prevent individual devices from waking up your laptop by adjusting their settings2.

Remember to try these steps one by one and see if any of them resolve the issue. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional assistance or checking for specific laptop model-related solutions. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
