Closing laptop should NOT hibernate after shutdown has been ordered
When I physically close my laptop computer, Windows goes into hibernation, which is a good thing since it saves battery power.
However, this also happens if I close the laptop shortly AFTER ordering it to shut down. The shutdown is interrupted and it goes into hibernation mode. When I open the laptop again, it resumes from hibernation and then immediately *proceeds to shutdown*. This is annoying! I want to close my laptop when I am done working, and I don't want to have to wait for it to shut down to be able to do it.
Once a system shutdown has been ordered, disable the service that puts the system into hibernation when the laptop is being physically closed.

It still really pisses me off.
I totally agree with the submission, it's happened to me plenty of times and is such a simple thing to find during testing and resolve but this goes back to Windows 2000. Why would you want to pause and 'save' your request to shutdown your computer for a later date, it's absurd!
totally agree, +1
I am not sure in Windows 7, but in XP there was a option that said "when I close the lid of my laptop" and you can set it to "do nothing" under the power options. I hope this helps!
When i close my netbook, during the shutdown, he doesn't stop the shutdown, he continue the shutdown :D
I use Windows 7 Starter, Asus Netbook.
This rages me out all the time. It's not even a new problem. +1
P.S. - @Dragonpoet unfortunately changing the power options doesn't solve the issue, because when the machine is not currently in the midst of a shutdown procedure it is desirable that the machine sleep after closing the lid. The irritation is that seemingly a standby procedure takes precedence over a shutdown procedure. Odd.

So true! I hate it.
