Two Windows 7 desktops quit shutting down following updates
I have two Dell Windows 7 desktops which have been working normally until this week.
Although I cannot prove it after several updates earlier this week both of them started hanging during shutdown.
I was running Classic Shell so I removed it and thought that fixed it but no.
I have searched the web for a solution and believe it or not one was fixed by running sfc /runnow and seems to be ok
The other was not fixed.
A suggestion to change 3 settings in the registry was tried on the other one but I only had one of the three settings in my registry and did change that setting from 8000 to 1000 with no apparent effect
Last night after it hung for 2 hours and hard drive was running continuously I shut it down with the computer power switch.
But, when I tried it this morning, it just stopped and did nothing.
