I stopped force-shutting down my PC after Windows 11's August update fixed this one thing
Power plans have needed a proper overhaul for years
A Windows 11 user had issues shutting down their PC, often requiring a hard reset. The user's PC would not fully shut down when pressing the power button, with fans continuing to spin despite peripherals and the screen turning off.
The issue with shutting down was resolved after the August update. Separately, the August update, KB5121003, caused problems with some games, including Arc Raiders, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and The Finals, becoming unresponsive.
Microsoft investigated and found that the issue was related to RGB lighting and a specific driver, inpoutx64.sys. The company is still looking into the relationship between these components and the affected games.
