. This type of problem has plagued Win since W95. They should have it pretty well nailed down by now. But then, it is Mickeysoft...
. In my experience, shutdown problems are caused by device drivers. Often it was fancy mouse drivers. I have uninstalled, shutdown and then installed the latest version with great success. But there are other causes too. The best place to go for info on startup/shutdown is the
