Thread: M2 power off pulse doesn't work

Take a look at Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced tab. There will be a section where you can select what the computer should do when the power button is pushed. Make sure that isn't set to "do nothing"

Have a look at this thread, hopefully it will be some help.

minlogon -> "acpi power button can't shutdown" workaround

Ahhh I never considered that it might be minlogon. I'll give this program a try.

And yes to NiSlo - I have it set to shut down.

The minlogon shutdown works perfectly! Problem solved.
