    Hello All,
    My current PC hangs on software shutdowns and restarts, my patience fails after more than ten hours. What info can I provide to assist in diagnosing this? The PC and OS otherwise working wonderfully.
    Obviously I'm never comfortable using a front panel power switch to power down so would welcome a solution, sfc scannow and the various dism options have not corrected this.

    H/W is an ASUS H61 M/B, i7 3770, 8GB RAM, SanDisk 128GB drive C, the rest on request if relevant

  2. Windows 10 Shutdown Issues

    Windows 10 shutdown issues. Since upgrading from Win 7 to 10 when I try to go to start, power, shutdown my machine does not fully turn off. My laptop's power button LED stays on. To fully shutdown I have to manually hold down the power button for a few
    seconds and only then does the machine turn off.

    program sounds

    Where do I place the sound I want to play at shutdown (for an added, not standard win 10 sound)?

    What is the pathway? which folder?

    I would rather have the shutdown sound in place and only have to modify the registry once.

    Cancel that request.

    I set win 10 to play sounds on startup & shutdown and didn't like the results. Not only did the sounds NOT play. When I did a warm re-start I had about 2.5 minutes of gray screen between the time win 10, appeared to shut down, and I saw a start-up screen
    ( start-up screen, Not my Desktop screen). Waaaaaaaayyyyyy too long! A power shut down took several times longer than normal( timed from clicking shut-down until the computer turned itself off). A cold start also took much longer than normal (Power on- to
    desktop screen showing).

    I wonder why windows 10 with startup & shut down sounds takes WAY longer to re-start or shut down than windows 7 did.

    Me, too.
    Built myself, using Gigabyte Mobo, etc., I7, 12 GB RAM
    Ran on Win 7 for years.
    Tried disabling the hybrid sleep option and that didn't improve anything.

  5. Thanks thetraveller,
    I'm running a desktop so hybrid etc options not really an option for me. I run on 100 octane best performance options.
    Should have added win 10 pro 64 bit fast track insider on latest updates.

    Bit annoying as I would love to recommend 10 to other non technical users but in all conscience maybe not yet.
