I have a new laptop since few months, ASUS N580V with Core i7 16 Gb RAM Nvidia Geforge 4Gb, etc. SSD, HDD, etc. with efi.

I installed suddenly UBUNTU 17.10 in dual boot with windows 10 (solving some problems of common data disk access). LAst week I updated to 18.04 LTS and appeared several problems: No turn-off neither restart after shut-down. Shutdown remains blocked and only possibility is to push the power button. No monitoring of battery status in no way possible No functioning of touchpad, only external mouse possible.

I reboot the PC in ubuntu recoveru mode, and all was ok, in recovery mode. In recovery mode I did alll checks and all resulted ok. Returning to normal 18.04 full mode the problems reappeared.

In windows 10 nothing changed, all ok.

What I could do?

The problem was finally solved fully reinstalling ubuntu 18.04 by usb key. The problem of frozen shut down reappeared but was solved with a complete update of drivers executing sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall (in particular of nvdia geforce). The first time something was wrong in this drivers updating, the problem remained and others appeared. BE CAREFUL to update the drivers and follow the secure updating instructions! Such as the installation reboot password, if requested. It's curious that none of these prioblems appeared in installation 17.10 neither in 16.04 in past...
