Hi and welcome @CoolDoge  
It is not recommended to switch off using the power button.  
There is a much better way to restart the system shown in the thread. You will find it in the solution at my first post at my thread [Restarting -\> stop job for user running!](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/restarting-stop-job-for-user-running/32893)

It was a different situation where shutting down was taking ages.  
I think/hope doing the REISUB button sequence might help in your case as well.

I hope to hear from someone experienced about these freezes as it happens with me one or two times I don’t know why, and REISUB did the reboot the proper way.  
Please let me know.  
Thank you.
