@hans; It doesn’t switch on at all. After some time, after keeping the power button pressed for some tine (and/or with volume rocker) it switches on. Battery is ok and Windows seems to shut down ok.

Read what I said… That totally a kernel panic / bluescreen problem under Windows. If this happens, pressing the power button wont turn it on anymore (you wont see the bluescreen not will it reboot on it’s own in most scenarios because stuck) because it’s crashed internally. Meaning if you long press it for 5 seconds, it’s a soft power off. Now it’s off. And when you wait then a few seconds, and then long press again, it’s a soft power on and will boot again. It’s normal behavior for a stuck kernel. But everyone working with PCs or Windows should know how Windows works. Otherwise, buy a Mac and ask Apple support.
Look into Window logs, youll mostly find something like “hardware failure” log entrys, something looking like this:
