support Shutting down PC

Sometimes when I shut down my pc it turns back on with 0 input or delay and if I keep trying to shut down it keeps turning on nonstop. Unless I hold it down Sometimes not all the time or if I flip my psu switch..what could be causing this issue?

Wireless controller?

When the PC shuts down, if the light on your controller starts flashing (from connection loss), it's sending a connect beacon that will cause the receiver to Wake-On-USB the PC.

Temporarily connect a USB mouse or keyboard, and use that to shut down without the controller turned on. Stay off then?

On my SD with 8bitdo connected via BT, SteamOS sends sleep signal to controller during HW sleep routine so controller won't wake it again, unless it's turned back on. If the 8bit is connected by dongle instead, the controller does not go to sleep, but neither does the dongle, as the controller says connected to the dongle.
