Just little update I tried to use the ctrl+c and alt+Prtsc+r it just skipping the retropie screen and it shows on the screen are stopped bla bla bla... the starting power off/shutdown something like that.
This means there's something else that runs in the background (a service ?) that performs the shutdown. Again - did you install any extra drivers or a shutdown script tailored for your case (in case you have one) ?
-
Also wondering if you have a new case, like a Kintaro SNES case, with a physical switch and installed software for it? If so, your Pi may be shutting down by design. If you have such a case and installed software, ensure physical switches are in the correct ON position.

I don't remember if I install extra driver and I think never installed any shutdown script. The last thing that I touched is the full update. After that the issue occur.

No, I only have case with fan no switch or anything else just a fan and the fan is steady running after the shutdown and the green light is gone after shutdown only fan and red light remains.
When I turn on the raspi it start just like running as a normal then the retropie screen shows up after that shutdown. Before it can go to ES screen when it was fine but right now stuck on retropie screen then shutdown.
Can you recommend any ways to recover or repair it I can access the files through ubuntu OS in my VMware?

Use a Linux installation (a live CD/USB if you don't have one installed) to be able to access the contents of the ROMS/BIOS and configs from
/home/pi/RetroPieand/opt/retropie/configs. -
Or you can do what I do to transfer ROMs and pull out the SD and put it into your PC. Then copy and paste all your ROMs onto the computer's hard drive. After that simply reinstall Retropie and then put your ROMs back on.

Tried that on my PC but it doesn't shows any ROMS like the above said it's only works on Linux base OS not for windows OS but the problem I don't have extra PC to install linux and my laptop is actually low HDD space. I was still thinking to fix the issue but the only way that I think will fix this if I reinstall everything and redownload ROMS but the problem I have many ROMS and saved data from SD card that is why I still want it to fix without erasing all my ROMS.

Can you back up the OS to your Google Drive? Or a USB stick?

I would like to up this issue I decided to repair this again. I have a bootable livera1n OS that I think build with linux and now I can access the root files how can I repair or set it all to default instead?
-
@arvinzx20 You need to determine what shuts down the system first - it's something that is still unclear. You could get a log file from
/var/log/messagesand post the last 100 lines on pastebin.com, that may shed some light on what's causing this. -
@mitu Thanks for response... Here's my logs message that I found below.
What should I do next?
The last logs is bluetooth. I remember that I am trying to fix and connect the two bluetooth ps4 controller to connect it to raspberry pi. Do you think I did something wrong about bluetooth that's why it can't go through from retropie screent to es?

This doesn't give an indication of what's triggering the shutdown. Try
/var/log/daemon.logmaybe ? -

2nd log shows that the Pi restarts after the 1st boot - which is normal since 1st boot will resize the filesystem on the sdcard and restart, but the 2nd boot doesn't show any shutdowns/restarts.
Can't determine what's causing the shutdown/restart.

@mitu Thanks but it seems my issue fixed.
I just backup all my roms and bios and format the sd card and reinstall the latest retropie.Thanks for helping me... This issue is solve by backing up my roms and bios and reinstall the latest retropie image.
