Computer getting stuck at Dell logo after shutdown

The Problem:
Shutting down computer but it was getting stuck at the Dell logo.

Manually turning it off from the power/restart button and restarting from windows allowed the computer to boot into windows but shut down via windows caused it to get stuck at the Dell logo.

The Fix:
Disable Fast Start Up/Fast boot in Windows.
