It occurred recently, and I’m using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with the latest updates. One day my shutdown process was extremely slow, and I didn’t make any changes to my computer. Initially I dismissed it, but now it happens whenever I try to shut down or restart. The screen stays on the shutdown menu with a spinning dial for about ten minutes before it finally powers off. I’ve tried everything I can think of—disabling services except essential ones, tweaking the registry to force a shutdown after five seconds if no background app closes, and adjusting a registry setting that indicates what’s hanging during shutdown. However, when it reaches that stage, it just says “shutting down” without mentioning anything about closing background applications. On a 120GB SSD, booting up is much quicker than shutting it down, which is really frustrating.

Is it just a coincidence that you're asking about this? Your message seems completely out of place.

Did you scan for malware? Additionally, execute chkdsk and sfc /scannow.

I've run BitDefender and Malwarebytes, but nothing found. I'll proceed with SFC/scannow next.
