What many folks do not know is that with modern laptops, MS has changed the default power settings so that when you power off the laptop, it does not shut down; instead, it goes into a hybrid sleep mode -- which consumes power, drains the battery, and generates heat. Some folks have reported their laptops burning out after they put the laptop in a bag and left it there -- presuming it was powered off.

----- Changing Power Options to Shutdown --

While this does increase the boot up time, by changing the power options to shut down the laptop, it prevents the other problems I mentioned above.

Go into Control Panel (not Settings) --> Power Options --> System Settings.

Under "When I press the power button" change the settings from "sleep" to "shutdown"

See if that helps.
