    App still running when I shut down my computer


    Hello,Every since one of the last updates I got, when I shut down my computer, on the blue screen that says, "shutting down" I get a message after a few seconds that shows one app is still running, but it flashes across the screen so fast I can't see what the app is, or the folder that its in.Does anyone know why this is the case. It never happened before the update on approximately the 4th or 6th of October.Could this be something malicious, or something that I shouldn't worry about?Any time something changes that I didn't change, I worry its something that needs to be addressed, but I don't

    :)

  2. My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

    Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
    Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

    Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
    Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix
