  My friends Rogue Tomato suggested that I allow multiple answers, so here's another poll (I'd like you to participate in both polls though).
  
  What operating systems do you usually use at least twice a week?

  Windows 10 still has some bugs and quirks. Here's one quirk that drives me crazy. About 90% of the times I shut down Windows 10, the machine shuts down and turns off, and then magically turns itself back on a minute or two later. This never happens when I shut down the same PC after I'm done using Linux, so it's not a hardware problem.
  
  I've googled it, and it happens to a lot of people. I've tried all the fixes they recommend, but it still happens. I got it to happen only maybe 10% of the time, and then Windows updated itself, and it's back to 90% again. So when I shut down the PC, I wait for it to turn itself back on, and then just hold down the power button until it turns off again.

  Rogue, go to Control Panel and select Power Options. MAYBE you'll find the solution there. Find Fast Start-up and uncheck it. If it is grayed out, find the box authorizing you to open grayed-out areas.

  Yeah, that was one of the things I found on google. But it didn't solve the problem. Another one was that I had to uninstall a Gigabyte program that came with my motherboard. That's what I thought made it work properly most of the time, but the Windows update made the problem come back, and the Gigabyte software is still not installed. So maybe it was just a coincidence.

  Unfortunately, Rogue, since the easy solution doesn't work, even Microsoft isn't sure how to solve it.
  
  Uninstalling Dropbox solves the problem for some people.
  
  Your rig might be confused. MS installs updates that require you to restart your computer. You can postpone that restart. Your machine might be restarting in order to install the updates.
