It only means something is broken, incompatible or other.

As a test we boot safe mode (here's a google how: https://www.google.com/search?q=boot+safe+mode+windows+10 ) and try a shutdown there. If that fails there is usually a hardware error.

Be sure to prepare for the worst by backups of what you can't lose.

Again, no PC details or "It worked until I installed VPNrussianFree."

This thing happened when you PC get infected by the Virus which prevents your PC to shut down and want to keep on the PC and there could be something else it is also possible that your computer might be hacked by some black hat hackers. You just need to change your laptop battery and then turn on your laptop. You also need to install the fresh copy of window to get rid of the problems.
