Windows 10: Windows 10 Taking A While To Shut Down

So last night I tried to shut down my PC. It usually enters the shutdown screen within a second, but today I replicated it and it took 3 minutes. What should I do?

Occasional BSOD while shut down (Windows 10)

sounds like some app or device not unloading cleanly
@Kursah he said DURNING SHUT DOWN AND ONLY DURING SHUTDOWN
none of your suggestions are relevant if thats true

open blue screen view and look at the top 5 or 10 entries that should give you a idea on what device is mis-behaving

 

Update while shutting down taking eight hours

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. Did you see any notification about Windows preparing to Install updates while shutting down the system?

2. Have you check if you can re boot the computer?

I would recommend that you wait for 24hrs and check if your system shuts down on its own. If not then I would suggest that you perform Power Drain and check if you can access the desktop. To do so follow the steps below

• Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
• Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
• Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

Hope this helps.

Absolutely correct. The system is otherwise rock stable in everything. Gaming, benchmarks, stress tests etc. It is only during shut down that it occasionally happens.
@OneMoar - I will check blue screen view today after coming from work and report back.
