[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1526887, member: 131855"] That clarifies some of the questions I had. At least I know that the increased time is not due to the reopen windows option being checked. Here are a few additional thoughts. These things have probably been checked out but we haven't touched on them so far: First an apology I wasn't as clear as I could have been about the first question. If you are shutting down [B]and do not close the lid [/B] how long does it take? Less than a minute, several minutes etc. Closing the lid can stop the shutdown process. I closed the lid on mine once before the process was 100% complete and a few days later when I opened the lid the computer was waiting to finish shutting down. Have you verified the hard drive and repaired permissions? This isn't an issue I recommend for everything but multiple hard shutdowns can corrupt the directory structure? If you start from a different user account, perform a few tasks, then shut down does the same problem (long shutdown) occur? If at any point in the troubleshooting process you performed a clean install does the long shutdown process still occur? [/QUOTE]
