Windows 10: Help with Windows shutting taking a very long time

I am running Windows 10 Pro version 1909 OS build 18363.836. Whenever I shutdown or restart, it takes about 5 minutes to shut down. It seems to have started randomly. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Windows 10 takes long time to shut down

I don't see how this helps with the OP's problem: "but takes an unusually long time to shut down". Since I updated to windows 10 my PC, which used to shutdown really quickly on Windows 7, now
takes up to a minute.

Laptop takes too long time to reboot to desktop on Windows 10

Hi David,

As per the description I understand that you are facing issues with booting the laptop to desktop as it is taking long time. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

• Do let us know the make and model of your laptop?
• What is the current version Windows 10 installed on your laptop?

This issue might have occurred due to incorrect settings to startup the device. Let us try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to check if
Fast Startup option on your device is enabled.

Fast startup is a new feature in Windows to help your PC start up faster after shutting down. When turned on, Windows does this by using a hybrid shutdown (a partial hibernate) method that saves only the kernel session and device drivers (system
information) to hibernate (hiberfil.sys) file on disk instead of closing it when you shut down your PC.

Steps:

• Press Windows +
  X key and click Control Panel.
• Click on Power options.
• Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
• Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable. If it prompts to click on yes, then click
  Yes.
• Make sure Turn on fast startup (Recommended)
  option is Enabled/ check marked under shutdown settings.
• If not, check mark it and click Save changes
  to configure the settings.

Step 2: Run the Power Troubleshooter


Power troubleshooter find and fix problems with your computer's power settings to conserve power and extent battery life

• 
  Type Troubleshooting in the
  Search bar on the desktop and press Enter.
  
• 
  In the Troubleshooting window, click on
  View All on the left pane.
  
• 
  Click on Power.
  
• 
  Click on Advanced and then click on
  Run as Administrator.
  
• 
  Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.
  

Hope it helps you to boot the system faster. Let us know for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

Thank you.
