Windows 7: Logging off troubles!

I have the same issue with a Dell Vostro. Logging off... continues for hours until I have to power the lap off with the power button. I successfully shut down maybe 1 out of 5 times.

the logging off proble get resolved when o unistalled the emulator clone drive software so try.

Like a few others said, try other methods of shutdown.
try the classic .bat file.

Open notepad and type (or copy) this: "shutdown -s -f -t 0" without the quotes.
Save as> all files> filename.bat

Test that and let us know.
If that works, I may know a reg tweak that will work.

I'm having this problem also. I have a Dell Latitude D630, and started having this issue shortly after install (maybe a week after).

I tried turning on the laptop, but not logging in. Then I clicked the shut down icon, and the computer shut down with no problem. I also enabled "Guest" profile on the computer so I could see if it's having the same problem outside of my profile. It is. I can switch users, turn off the computer, outside of either profile with no problem (as long as I don't log in, no problem shutting down the system).

Obviously, the issue isn't with shutting down, but it's having a problem logging off only, so you don't get a chance to get to where the system shuts down.

My computer does this every time, and will not (log off so I can) shut down at all, until I either force quit (hold the power button down) or remove the battery.

Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I had removed my passcode from my profile on the laptop about the time I started having this problem. I don't know if this was actually related to that, but I replaced it and the laptop logs off and shuts down with no problem now. I had also turned off some startup programs, too, so I don't know if it may have been that, either. Either way, the problem seems to be over.

Hey TheVinesKid,

I was able to log off successfully using the shutdown command. Please share the reg hack. This is driving me nuts.

thanks,
Don

Hi and welcome to sevenforums

This thread is ancient. I doubt that vines kid will see it. If he has a fix should probably should PM him. You could also start a new thread if you want more resposes.

I'm currently running windows 7 premium 32 bit Toshiba laptop, and whenever I open my computer always gets stuck on the logging off screen. Then I can't open it even using of safe mode.so how can i open my computer now? please help me!

Why are you "logging off' when you "open" your computer. Please clarify what you mean.

Welcome to the Seven Forums, smithal!

Are you able to log on at all or does your computer immediately take you back to the log-off screen?

Do you have a password protected log-on or do you usually boot right into Windows without the log-on screen?
