Windows 10: Sudden increase in shutdown time

Hey all!!

Newbie here, first post, please bear with me *Smile
I´ve got a PC with i7-3770 K, 32 GB of RAM and SSD hard disk and Windows 10 Pro
Before, when I turned off the PC, the shutdown was pretty much instantly
Now, Windows closes down instantly, but then stays on the blue SHUTTING DOWN page with the moving circle for about 20 seconds. Pretty annoying.....
Any idea why this might be??
Thanks for your help!!

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Windows 10

Hey again,

Well to be honest this is a pretty complicated question to answer since I feel like I have been getting many errors due to the same problem. The problem first appeared as a sudden laptop shutdown. The first 2 or 3 times I thought maybe it was my laptop overheating,
but what made me realize it was a different problem was that windows would try to update every time I turn it on but fail. So I kept using my laptop thinking it would go away but the problem persisted. Sometimes it would just do the sudden shutdown, other
times I would get the BSOD before the shutdown. Eventually though, it stopped doing the sudden shutdown and I would only get the BSOD errors at that point. To answer your question though, I got the BSOD in the past month (including the times before I reinstalled
windows) maybe 8-10 times. However, if you count the sudden shutdowns too it would be 10-15. And this is excluding the time when driver verifier was on as you asked.

Thanks!

 

Windows Update error 0x80070032 after WU KB4089848

Hello Sumit,

I tried hiding it but I'm still stuck with the same error and "Update and shutdown" button.

Since this update, my shutdown time has increased tremendously, from what used to be just a few seconds, it takes more than a few minutes to shutdown the system.

 

Hello GuitarG,

There are two types of shutdown in Windows 10 - a hybrid shutdown and a full shutdown. Depending on your settings you may have changed from one type to another.

Have a look through the following tutorial which will explain the differences and show how to turn it on or off.

Hey!

thanks for the reply
I switched the fast startup OFF some time ago, I had an issue with it, dont remember exactly what.
Can that be also the reason it shuts down slower??
I did lower the killapptime and all that stuff found in the online tutorials...

 

ok haha, I remember now what issue I had with it, because I switched it back to ON and now my PC doesn´t start.
The problem is that when I switch on fast startup, its true that the PC shuts down in 1-2 seconds but I can´t switch on the PC afterwards!
When I push the power button nothing happens.....
I have to disconnect the power cable, wait a bit, connect it again, and then windows starts again, but a full re-start
Any ideas on that??

 

Thanks for the feedback. So, if you can get the Fast Startup process working you will be in great shape. Try researching that on these forums and see if you can fix it. Try searching for threads on Fast Startup in combination with your make of motherboard. Pay particular attention to Intel Management Engine drivers because that is usually the culprit.

 

That´s great! Thanks a lot for the help, will dive into that straight away!
