Why do I have to first unplug my computer to start

Before I can start my desktop must first unplug it till the motherboard light goes out , then I can plug it in and start the computer . Ive had this problem for several months on a computer thats used every day. Is my only recourse to replace the motherboard

Open up the computer and look at all the extra cables inside make sure there all neatly bundled away from any part of the case they may be shorting it out. Clean the dust out of the case and power supply . If this doesn't help change out the power supply

"This is not a hardware problem; it is too universal.

The same occurred to me after MS updated my Windows 10 OS.

Ive previously been using Win 10 for about 15 months without this issue.

Typical of MS; Every fix seems to create a new and different problem."
