[SOLVED] PC won't turn on unless I hold power button first

[LivDragon]

I turn my PC off every night. For about two months, when I turn it off my keyboard lights stay on. And when I turn it on nothing displays. But if I hold the power button down to force shutdown (turns off keyboard lights too) and then press the button again to turn it on then everything is fine. So yeah, I have to hold the power button to turn it off or it won't turn on for me.

I mentioned the keyboard lights for more context. Oh and when I turn on without force shutdown and nothing displays, the lights on the motherboard turn on and the fans start.

It sounds like its not actually closing right, if kb lights stay on

try turning fast startup off and see if it helps - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html - as it could be an old driver that doesn't like the way WIndows 10 shutsdown. Win 10 uses a hybred hibernate which means its not off when you turn it off. Its asleep. It saves files onto hdd that were open at shutdown and then saves a copy of running drivers into ram. This means on startup, it should just jump into action since things are already running... but this doesn't work well with drivers not written for the mode.
