Restart shuts down computer...
Whenever I go to restart my computer, the system just shuts down.
There have been no hardware/software updates outside of a windows update about a week ago that said something about updating to some tool that would check for malicious items, and if found, would alert me at start up. I installed the update, and the next time I shut down and restarted the computer I got no warning or notice. A few days ago I noticed when I go to restart the computer, it shuts down instead. If a program prompts for a restart, it restarts fine, but if I initiate the restart from the start button, it shuts the computer completely down.
Any idea what's going on here, and how can I fix this issue?

Isn't it possible that the windows updates are causing this problem? If so, how will restoring to a previous time and then reinstalling the same updates fix the issue?Is there any way of viewing or editing the mechinism that handles shutdown/restarts and insuring that it's set to the right settings? (e.g. something like the way you disable autorun; is there something that allows you to do something like that in the shutdown/restart arena?).443

It's certainly possible an update caused the problem. That said, I haven't see a lot of other similiar posts here after this last round of updates. So it may be that you just had a problem with installation of these updates.
If you do the System Restore and things go back to normal, then you can manually install the latest round of updates, one at a time, to see if a specific update is the problem. I'm guessing that you won't have the problem again...but I've been wrong before. ;)
