Unable to shutdown properly Kali and Parrot; restart works

I've searched and found this problem reported, but none of the suggested solutions worked for me.
While restarting works fine, shutdown does not. System hangs on the shutdown - able to turn off only by physically pressing the power button.
Hardware - Lenovo laptop with not a Nvidia video card.
Software - problem exists on Kali live, Parrot live and Kali 2020.1 installed, works fine on few other live OS including Mint.
Attempted solutions - modifying grub file.
There might be few more details that escape me at this time.
Please help and suggest.
