Does my computer take a long time to shut down?
Does my computer take a long time to shut down?
To verify that it's the 'passport thing', open Task Manager and close any apps or processes you suspect are causing the slow shutdown. After that, perform a standard shutdown. If it closes properly after stopping 'the passport thing', you've identified the issue. Next, investigate the cause by checking the manufacturer's website or forum.
Thank you for informing us. It seems the issue might be related to a networking app or driver interfering with the shutdown process. By adjusting the registry settings, you can enable Verbose Mode. This feature displays the actions Windows performs during shutdown and reboot, helping you understand what occurs and why stalls may happen. To activate Verbose Mode, go to the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and create a DWORD value named verbosestatus. Set it to 1 to turn on Verbose Mode and 0 to disable it.
I'm sorry, but the issue continues even after just one attempt.
Activate verbose mode as requested and capture the shutdown screen where it halts.
If you choose Restart, it will power off and then begin the restart process at the standard pace.
