When i go to shut my pc down, it is taking about 3mins+ just to BRING the Standby, Turnoff and Restart up. Then when i click Turnoff it is taking about 4/5mins to actually switch itself off.

Any ideas plz 1) Make sure "clear pagefile at shutdown" is not ENABLED:
start - run - regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown value to 0


2) Start - Run - Regedit
Navigate to the following Registry key:
HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Double click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 0 with a 1 in the Value data text box

For the next two, if the dword value INDICATED does not exist, create it:

Double click on the WaitToKillAppTimeout entry in the right pane and CHANGE the Value data to 2000

Double click on the HungAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 1000

Reboot

3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Right-click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout and change it to 2000Cheers it worked a TREAT
