Good luck and hopefully this way the laptop can be turned off normally. When you have tried all the ways we wrote above and it turns out that the laptop still cannot be turned off (shutdown) then you may need to forcibly disable the laptop. Although this method is accurate, it is not highly recommended unless it is in a state of necessity.
The trick is to long press the power button and if it works, the laptop will turn off. Meanwhile, if the laptop does not want to turn off, please just remove the battery immediately. Although this method is very effective, but sometimes there is a risk of damaging the hardware if you make it a habit. If by doing all the methods above, you and the laptop still can't shutdown (turned off) normally, then there is a possibility that there is a problem with the Windows OS that you are using. In some cases, this problem is caused by corrupted program files that make shutdown not work at all. But unfortunately the damage is no longer detected and can't even be repaired by the system like by fixing the registry earlier. So the last solution is to reset or refresh the Windows you are using. Here we recommend doing a refresh first rather than reset.
