not shutting down even i press thee shut down button

Hi Rohith,

This issue may occur if there are processes or services still running on the background or a faulty device driver installed on your device. If your PC is still on the
"Shutting down" screen until now, you can force it to shut down by pressing the
Power button for 5 to 10 seconds or until it turns off.

As an initial troubleshooting step, we'd recommend running the power troubleshooter on your device to help us identify and fix any underlying factors that may be causing the issue. To run the troubleshooter on your device, follow these steps:

• Click on the Windows icon on your computer, then type in Troubleshoot.
• At the left pane, choose Troubleshoot.
• Under Find and fix other problems, click on Power, then
  Run the troubleshooter.
• Follow the prompt, then see if it'll resolve the issue.

Let us know how it goes.
