  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

  3. Task Host Window / explorer.exe - Application Error (on shutdown and/or restart)

    Hello,

    As you receive explorer.exe – Application Error on the shutdown,
    this issue might be due to corrupted or missing system files.

    Share this information to assist you better.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: End the Windows Explorer process and create the new one.

    • Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, under Process
      tab, search for Windows Explorer.
    • Right click on it and click on End task.
    • Click on File in the Task Manager
      at top left corner of the window and select Run new task.
