    How to use Event Viewer to view your Boot and Shutdown Performance

    WIN key | type EVENTVWR.MSC | ENTER key

    First wait for the Event Viewer to be populated-watch the Summary of Administrative Events section.

    Now, using the left-hand pane tunnel down as follows:
    Applications and services logs | Microsoft | Windows | Diagnostics-Performance | Operational

    Right-click on Operational.

    In the top-section of the middle pane, various events are listed.

    Click on EventID to sort the events from smallest to largest.

    EventID 100 is for Boot Performance.
    EventID 200 is for Shutdown Performance

    Maybe there are programs or third-party drivers which not properly closed.
    Try clean boot and check if the shutdown problem still occurred ?

    A common source of a slow shutdown is that you have scheduled certain programs to run at shutdown time, perhaps some AV action, a defrag, a cleanup.
