Computers that are slow to shut down generally have a number of issues that prevent them from working effectively. The problems your computer will have will generally include problems such as your PC not being able to load the files you use correctly, having incorrect Windows settings, and a variety of other issues your system will display. This tutorial will show you the best way to stop the program from running in the most effective way possible.
What causes slow shutdown issues?
The problems you are likely to face with a computer that is slow to shut down is that your PC will have a number of issues that will prevent it from properly saving your settings or closing your programs. The problem you will have is that when Windows shuts down, it will basically have to stop all your programs from running and save all the files and settings that it will use to run. Normally, this will work just fine and Windows will be able to shut down quickly… however, your PC will have problems with files or settings that it needs to save on shutdown.
Problems your PC will have include:
- Windows setup will not be able to run properly
- Some of the programs your PC runs will have errors
- Windows won’t be able to properly load the “shutdown” files it needs
How to stop slow Windows shutdown times
The way to speed up the shutdown procedure is basically to make sure that all parts of your system are working properly. To do this, you must first make sure that your computer can run your software programs properly, and then that you don’t have settings that are corrupted and causing your computer to take longer to shut down.
The first step in fixing this problem is to close any programs you are running before attempting to shut down your PC. To do this, you must be able to press “CTRL+ALT+DEL” on your keyboard to load Task Manager, and then stop all programs running on your system. This will prevent your PC from getting confused when it tries to shut down, allowing your computer to shut down much more smoothly as a result.
The second step to fix this problem is to clean any corrupted settings on your Windows system using a “registry cleaner” tool. These are software programs that work by scanning through your computer and repairing whatever issues/problems are inside. A big problem that will prevent computers from shutting down on time is that your PC will have some corrupted or damaged settings within the registry database that prevent your PC from being able to properly save/process the files it needs to run. This common problem has been a big cause of Windows taking a long time to shut down and can now be fixed by downloading and running a registry cleaning tool.
