pc taking long time to shut down

[mgupta]

my pc is taking a considerably long time to save its setting and then to shut down .sometimes it becomes very irritating to wait for as long as 10-20 min.help me solve the problem.

If it really irritates u then do this:

go to

Control Panel / Power Options / Advanced (Tab) / Power Buttons
"When I Press the Power Button on my Computer:"
Select "Shutdown"

Now you can just press Power button on the front (likely) of your pc(for about 5 secs) and walk away while it shuts down properly.


or

press WinKey+R
type shutdown -s -t 00
press enter.

Paste following code in Notepad and save the file with name "vishal.reg" (including quotes):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"
"HungAppTimeout"="1000"
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="2000"
"LowLevelHooksTimeout"="1000"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="2000"

Now run the file and accept the confirmation. It should help u.

Navigate to:

Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown value to 0

This should help.

i also have the same solution that s given by the ravi.the lot of time to take shutdown because of the clear the pagefile.so
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
in the right side pane you will see the clearpage file at shutdown.and change the value to zero.
