I have this problem on my laptop (Lenovo Flex 14API) where when I restart/shutdown/sleep it takes about 5 minutes to fully do the action. EXAMPLE: when I click on restart in windows it says "restarting" then the screen goes black but the power LED and the fans keep running for like 5 minutes then the laptop finally boots back up, same with sleep, I close the lid and the fans and LED stays on then after 5 minutes then the LED starts pulsating to indicate that it went to sleep. I have tried everything to fix this, freshly reinstalled windows, used DDU, turned off PCI power link state, hibernation, fast-startup, went from windows 10 to 11 and asked many people on forums but can't find a solution.
