windows wont shut down

[I3rianL]

for some reason when i shut down my computer now it goes all the way to where it says "windows is shutting down" and then it freezes, i have to turn off the computer manually now. it didnt do that before usually it just automatically turns off. is this a problem with windows or hardware? and how do i solve it?

Have you made any changes recently??

Do you have restore points turned on......if so use it to restore windows.....

try spyware and virus scans......

does it turn off when in safe mode?
