OS
Windows 11
On the most recent build of Windows 11 as of 12/23/2025

A similar thing happened with my old windows 10 laptop but every day I shut down and also restart my laptop and late last night, it shut down just fine but upon pressing the power button, it briefly got stuck on the HP logo with no spinning wheel, shut down by itself and then went to a faint dim black screen.

I attempted to start up again and it got stuck on a black screen but the fans turned on and after a minute I managed to get it turn on normally and I decided to restart this time (which went fine) and shut down a few times after to test and it began shutting down and powering on normally however I am still concerned something bad might've happened

I've done SFC scannow commands and no corruptions are found.

Probably some update wasn't installed properly. Eventually the update managed to get installed, so Windows work now without any noticeable issues. Once I could not boot at all, I had to restart in Safe Mode to fix it.

It might have been your system was in the process of an update. I had a similar event happen a few months back on my HP lap top when I resume it from sleep.
