Recalbox 8.1 multi boot (PC) can't shutdown or reboot

[Jon10110]

Good evening. I currently have a multi boot PC with Windows 11, Linux Mint and Recalbox and all is working except for the reboot/shutdown function. If I use reboot or shutdown within recalbox all it does is shutdown to a black screen with a _ in the upper left. The only way to fully shutdown or reboot is by using the PCs power button. Is there a way to configure recalbox to actually shutdown the PC or reboot to Grub? Thx in advance.

@jon10110 We do not recommend dualbooting with Recalbox. We recommend installing Recalbox on a dedicated device, and we still recommend using one device exclusively for the system, and another device for storing ROMs/BIOS/etc.

Considering this, we do not support this type of situation.

But, there are some users who do dualboot, and there are even some tutorials here on the forum about it, I recommend you check it out:
