Hello again, I just tonight started noticing this, my laptop when shut down still has the red light on in the back. I'm talking about the redlights on the bottom part of the laptop not the laptop cover redlight which shuts down fine. The lights where the dust cover and vent area is on bot back of the laptop.
Not sure if this has been going on for long and i just didnt notice it but it seems weird. I think i would notice since i like my room dark and now theirs this red aura coming from my laptop. Not sure if i messed with a setting i didnt notice or something.
I searched online to fix my problem and found a suggestion to turn off fast startup under the power options. That didnt do anything for me.
Ok i just double checked i disabled fast start last night. I also insured im not shutting down into sleep mode as i disabled sleep mode completely.
The power button is shutting off and the red lit up icon on the back of the lid is shutting down. The red lights behind the vents are whats staying on.
This has to be a recent problem i havent done any updates or anything. I would of for sure noticed this.
So i tried a system restore there was a "critical update" On April 13. Problem is when it finishes it says something about "system restore did not restore setting and windows files try a diff system restore point". I have no other system restore points before April 13.
I'm guessing that April 13 update did something to the computer and now the lights on the back near vent wont shut down. I worry this is going to do something bad to my laptop ive already had other problems with the motherboard.
Yes that would have been the CU upgrade. I suggest you download use MCT and create a install USB. Then run the upgrade install from within windows. This should clean up the defective CU update C reator U pgrade.

I've still no figured out a fix for he red light on the back of my computer. Its just always on no matter what. I would like to shut it off. I have a international flight next week and dont want it to look like my laptop wont shut off.
Does anybody have any ideas for this? It seems weird that i cant shut the light off on the back.
