Problem description: When shutting down or rebooting, my Thinkpad T530 does not do it properly. It eventually hangs on a black screen. The power button is still lit and it reacts to keyboard shortcuts for backlight and such but it will not power off at all unless I hold down the power button for five seconds. This problem is somewhat erratic, occasionally it does do so succesfully but I haven't been able to pinpoint what exactly makes it work. Attempted fixes: I have attempted several fixes before I decided to clean up my boot drive and reinstall the OS as it was time to do so anyways. However, the issue popped up after several hours, after several trouble-free restarts and shut downs. I have googled this issue and there are quite a bit of other laptop owners with the same problem. One solution was to roll back Intel Management Engine Interface to version 9, which did not help. I also disabled Fast Startup under power settings which did not help as well. I figured if the problem persisted even past a fresh OS install, there might be something else going on. Recent changes: I reinstalled several programs, namely Chrome, Adobe Creative Suite and 3dsmax. I also followed this guide to fix a small quirk with my trackpad, which consisted of editing several registry keys. -- Operating system: Winsdows 10 Professional System specs: Lenovo Thinkpad T530 i5-3210m 16gb RAM NVS 5400m Location: Belgium I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

It's been solved! After some debugging, I traced it down to the SDCard reader driver. I had been troubleshooting a broken SD card which was inserted in my PC and when removed all problems disappear. I'm guessing it wasn't shutting down properly because of that.
