SHUTDOWN WORKS, BUT IT’S REALLY SLOW

SHUTDOWN WORKS, BUT IT’S REALLY SLOW

1. If it appears that Windows is not shutting down, give it some time. Some users report a minute or longer for shutdown to visibly start. Generally, this is a consequence of software that is running when shutdown is attempted. It also may have something to do with particular hardware. If you experience this problem, be sure to close all running programs before attempting shutdown and see if this solves your problem. If so, then you can determine, by trial and error, which program(s) are involved.
2. Solution: Got to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services, stop the Nvidia Driver Helper service. (You can also get this by launching SERVICES.MSC from a Run box.) 
3. Disable Terminal Services, Please note that Terminal Services is required in Windows for running Remote Assistance, Fast User Switching, and Remote Desktop.
4. The Group Policy Editor has a security option to clear the page file at system shutdown. The same setting also forces the hibernation file to be wiped at shutdown. These processes take long enough that users may think that shutdown has hung. To change the setting, click Start | Run, type GPEDIT.MSC, click OK. Drill down to Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options. In the right pane, find “Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile.” NOTE: Since someone actually has to have set this policy, the problem will be pretty rare, but is worth mentioning. The personal security app Privacy Eraser automatically enables “Clear virtual memory pagefile,” and, therefore, may be the cause of a slow shutdown.
5. You may also disable 'Page Files' by accessing System Properties | Advance | Settings | Advance | Change and then select the radio button 'No Page Files'
6. Run a Disk Clean up and select the check box Clear memory dump and error checking logs. It will help you to clear system event logs.
7. In a domain environment, don’t forget to check any logoff scripts you are pushing. These can be a source of slow or hanging shutdown processes.  A related cause of slow shutdowns is offline synchronization of data, which is increasingly common with mobile computing, but is usually much more obvious to the end-user.
