My Spectre laptop won't shut down- the power button turns off for a few seconds, but then turns back on again, wasting battery. The only way I can shut the laptop down is to forcefully do so by pressing the power button down for a few seconds. I've updated the software- what more should I do?

Having Same issue. Friends I need help, First off I'm a newbie at deep tinkering around with Win10 and PC's in general and I potentially made a rookie mistake...noted. For some reason I thought it would be cool to mess around with my SSD, so I tried to convert my one and only drive to a Dynamic disk. The three partitions did not all change. 2 of the partitions stayed Basic and my C: drive (the only 1 to convert) changed to Dynamic. Ever since then my computer will not shut down when I use the GUI shutdown through the startup menu. Even though I can't get it to shutdown through normal means I am able to shut it down using the command "shutdown /s". My question is, did I mess up my drive from functioning normally? My request for help is, how do I fix this issue?
