My computer is running Windows 10 and since I bought it 2 years ago it's always had an issue of turning itself back on after shut down. This happens regardless if I unplug all of the USB accessories or not. The computer isn't set to wake on LAN, but on some days it just turns itself back on after the shutdown sequence is complete. I initially thought it might have something to do with how hot the unit gets, but sometimes the unit still turns itself back on even when it is cold. It also struggles to "sleep". Is this something common on this model or the Xeon processors? I have had the motherboard replaced previously by HP as they suspect that might have been the issue, but it didn't solve the problem. It more annoying than actually affecting the work, but it would be good to learn if anyone knows how to turn off the PC normally without it popping back on uncontrollably.
