power state regression

About this tag
The tag 'power state regression' covers a specific Windows 11 bug introduced by the January 2026 Patch Tuesday update (KB5073455) that prevented affected systems from shutting down or hibernating, causing them to restart instead. The issue was tied to devices configured with System Guard Secure Launch.

This tag is relevant for users and IT administrators troubleshooting shutdown or hibernation failures after applying the January 2026 cumulative update.
