After searching through hundreds of forum posts everywhere, one of us suddenly stumbled across a post that had the right solution. We had another issue with several other (also old) Dell laptops which refused to wake up from sleep in 1803 (not before).

What I was hoping for, is to come across some smart dude who had successfully figured out how to solve the issue.

This includes the following modes:Īt first, I thought it might have something to do with the GPT disk format, but even booting without a disk, just using a USB setup/installation memory stick causes the same problem as long as the stick has the 1803 version and UEFI boot is selected. As soon as the boot mode is set to UEFI, any Windows 10 (1803) mode fails to shut down the computer. The problem didn't occur in 1803 either, as long as the boot mode was set to legacy.ģ. There were no such problems with 1703 version of Windows (or earlier - including W8 and W7).Ģ. I know for certain that this is a fact after the following tests on an E4310:ġ. Processor: Intel Core i5-560M Dual-Core 2.On certain Dell machines (different models), I have seen that Windows 10 (1803) fails to perform a full shut down after the BIOS has been changed to UEFI Boot.
