Question Windows 10 is shutting down but not restarting

[bpaul180]

Hey guys,

My computer is shutting down and rebooting no problem BUT! when I press restart ( from windows ) it gets stuck on a grey screen with the word restarting forever.
I have tried many options that I found on here from previous threads;
-UPDATE ALL DRIVERS AND WINDOWS
-SAFE BOOT
-RESET BIOS DEFAULT
-UNPLUGGED ALL USB PORTS
- BIOS FAST STARTUP OFF
-RESTARTED WINDOWS UPDATE SERVICES
-ETC

Motherboard: Maximus XI hero wifi
CPU: i9 9900k (not overclocked)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 3000mhz, 4 x 16gb (64gb XMP1 bios setting)
GPU: RTX 2080 SUPER
STORAGE: 970 evo 250gb
PSU: Thermaltake 750w 80 gold plus
COOLING: Thermaltake Riing AIO

Thanks so much!

Some have resloved this issue by turning off fast startup https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

Just to be sure, I'm talking about Windows 10 fast startup, not the BIOS fast boot.
