Microsoft's Patch Tuesday update KB5073455 for Windows 11 23H2 introduced a bug affecting systems configured with Secure Launch that causes shutdown requests to result in a restart and prevents some devices from entering hibernation; Microsoft published a temporary shutdown workaround (shutdown /s /t 0) and is investigating, but no fix for the hibernation issue is yet available.
