There haven't been real switches for power on computers in 20+ years now, they are all software switches, which is why hitting the power switch to turn it off sends it into a "graceful" shutdown vs. actually just killing power.

IIRC Windows had issues dealing with this and the power management drivers.... so it is likely not your hardware, though a BIOS update may help
