[andygi11]

First make a backup, then uninstall the installed engine and download and install this one(check for compatibility before downloading) and then restart your computer.

I've not seen the hang on power off since moving to IMEI 9.xx - I'd tentatively call it a fix.

Something I did notice - if I'd only been browsing, emailing, and editing the occasional small document, I had no problem. Recoding movies, or other things memory intensive, and it would hang on shutdown. It was like something was making the power manager wait on a semaphore that wasn't being handled, or was in a loop with another semaphore. that usually is a bad malloc() in a process.

1.

Method one:-

1. Move the mouse cursor over the upper right side of the screen in order to open the Charms bar menu.
2. Left click or tap on the search feature presented there.
3. Type in the search box the following text “power” without the quotes.
4. Left click or tap on the “Settings” feature presented after the power search.
5. Left click or tap on the “Change what the power buttons do” feature presented in the left side of the window.
6. Now you should have in front of you the “System Settings” window.
7. You will have to go all the way to the end of the list presented in the right side of the “System Settings” window.
8. Find the feature “Turn on fast startup (recommended)” and uncheck the box next to it in order to disable this feature.
   Note: If this option is not available and you cannot check or uncheck the box next to it then you will have to go in that list all the way to the top and left click on the “Change settings that are currently unavailable” link in order to activate this feature.
9. Reboot the Windows 8.1 or the Windows 10 operating system.
10. Try shutting down your device and see if it reacts differently. If you still have issues with the shutdown feature after this then do the next method posted below.
11. method2-
12. 1. Press and hold the button “Windows” and the button “X”.
    2. After you opened up the menu you will have to left click on the “Command Prompt as Administrator” to open it.
    3. In the command prompt window you will need to write the following line “bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes” without the quotes.
       Note: Be sure to type the command exactly how it is written above and include a space between the line “bcdedit /set disabledynamictick” and the “yes” word.
    4. Press the “Enter” button on the keyboard.

IMEI 11.xx worked for me under 8.1. 

[andygi11]

@gangadhar12 these methods won't work as there is a problem with Intel Management Engine Driver 11.xx when running on Windows 10. The only fix available is installing Intel Management Engine driver 9.5.xx via the steps I mentioned in my earlier replies.

[gangadhar12]

means i have to uninstall 10.xxx and reinstall 9.xxx if i uninstall 10.xxxx. do i get any problems in laptop . when i clicked the link you provided for 9. xxx i saw a message that this fix will onl work for 6 kind of intel boards or some thing is given . how could i identify which intel my pc belong to . there are only 6 kinds of intel is given there , i got confused and thought i would be risky if intall wrong software.

It was a problem free downgrade from 11 to 9 for me. 10 to 9 shoudn't be a worse problem, as long as you follow the instructions, and read prompts on screen.

This is neither a problem of HP nor Microsoft.

The culprit is Intel. Downgrade Intel Management Engine Interface driver to 9.5.24.1790 (search Intel site).

I had same problem on my Pavilion 15-n208tx. Running alright after the aforesaid downgrade since last two days.

The problem is with Intel Management Engine Interface driver ver 11x.

Download driver fom https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25096/Intel-ME-11-Management-Engine-Driver-for-Intel-NUC

Both the Shutdown & Sleep problem solved... (verified)

thanx

Not for everybody. I have the version 9 driver and I'm still having the problem. I don't have an HP I have a dell xps12. But the same problem that everyonre else is having. Been serching every where to try to solve the iisue. It only happenes on my laptop if I let it run for a long period of time then it doesn't shut down. I don't have any sleep issues or anything else. If I turn it on, use it for an houe or so, it shuts right down.
