    PC is taking forever to shut down and log off


    The last few days my PC has been taking a very long time to shut down and log off.

    And now it wont shut down at all.

    I ran Malwarebytes and avast in safe mode and everything seems fine.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Try using clean boot to determine the cause
    Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
    Go into clean boot. If the computer works, put several services back at each boot to determine the cause.
