    Tweaking Shutdown for Quick


    My 32-bit Professional installation is awfully gimpy about shutting down.
    what hangs it up?
    how do I pick up some esprit there?

    by contrast, my x64 Ultimate rig is like "Bam!" and its off.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \Session
    ) In right side right click on “ClearPageFileAtShutdown”, select Modify and make value of “1”, and Exit from Computer THEN BOOT.


    BACK UP REGISTRY FIRST, THIS IS IMPORTANT

    Why don't we find out what is really causing it before we advise people to muck around in the registry? The registry should always be a last ditch effort if your OS refuses to work properly, not the first.

    Fast Shutdown


    JonM33 is right, don't resort to tweaking the registry in the early sign of PC problems.

    I will suggest way to shutdown PC faster. Before shutting down make sure you saved all your works first because this will be really quick shut down without registry tweaking.

    Here is the way (this is applicable also to XP & Vista):

    1. Open Task Manager (ctrl + alt + del)
    2. Click the SHUTDOWN tab
    3. Hold CTRL on the keyboard & click TURN OFF

    That's it!

    Shutdown delays are logged in Performance>Diagnostics log at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools\Advanced Tools.

    Google repeat errors from this log and the Event Viewer>Admin view to learn more about how others have resolved them.

    On W7 You do not have the SHUTDOWN tab on Task Manager !!! Only a LoGOff under USER .

    There is a shut down option under on the bottom right of the screen (the red button)

    It's an emergency shut down - not technically part of task manager

    We are talking about Task Manager on W7 x64 there`s No ShutDown tab as it was on XP Task Manager . Your " red button " might be an added external program is NOT a function of the Task Manager please right click on it for properties to see what it is .

    That's on the Cntrl>Alt>Delete Menu, where you can select Task Manager.

    Many access Task Manager by rightclicking taskbar.
