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

Hi Bill,

To set up shutdown schedule using a Task Scheduler you may follow the below steps and check if it helps:

1. Start

Schedule in the Search bar and choosing
Schedule tasks.

2. When Task Scheduler opens click the
Create Basic Task.

3. Enter the
Name for your Task, for example
Shutdown.

4. Now choose
When do you want the task to start. In our case we’ll choose One time.

5. Now enter the
Time and date when the task will be executed.

6. Next choose
Start a program.

7. Click the
Browse button and go to C:\Windows\System32 and select a file called
Shutdown. Then click Open.

8. Now just in
Add arguments field add -s, and then click
Next.

9. Now you should see the task information. You can check it one last time, and if you’re pleased with your settings click
Finish to schedule a shutdown.
