Pc not turning on properly

Windows update configures drivers through optional updates, you need to have run those before installing anything like graphics driver etc
That's done but the power button still doesn't work properly, is it possible its still a software issue or is it more likely a hardware issue now that I've clean installed?

It wasn't done as your device manager wasn't configured properly?

Can you post a screenshot of your optional updates section and your device manager?

What was the button set to do before you set it to 'sleep'?
It was on "shut down", basically the issue is when I shut down my pc the only way I can turn it back on is if I manually turn the psu off and on again, otherwise the power button doesn't work

I've set it to sleep now instead of shut down for a temporary solution but that means my pc is going to be on all the time instead of turning off.

I'm assuming the button has no loose connection as I wouldn't be able to put it to sleep and wake it up again, so it's either an issue with the psu itself or a software issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried using the shutdown process from within Windows itself, instead of relying on the button? Does that result in the same failure to restart?

I would check ask the connections, just to be on the safe side, these things can come loose
Yeah I've tried to push in the wires see if that works but I haven't built a pc before and I've ordered this 1 so it was built for me I'm worried if I mess with it too much I'll break something and I don't know what I'm doing so I won't be able to fix it

I'll play around a little more but im hoping its a software issue which im able to fix through guides and trial and error otherwise im a lil stuck :/

I had a similar issue before and it was a connected device (mouse or keyboard) that was causing the problem.

Might be worth unplugging everything except the power cable and try the power button.
