Windows 7 won't shutdown properly

Hi all just recently windows 7 64 bit pro wont shut down, it does all the normal stuff monitor turns off etc. but my tower just stays on as if something is still doing something...... I've scanned it to death for viruses don't think its that, because I dual boot win 10 and that's ok shuts down restarts etc.

I did have an issue in device manager AMDA00 interface had a downward arrow on it read somewhere to disable until was fixed but this made no difference with my shutdown problem ?

also in the regedit thing its set to 0, any ideas (feels like win 7 is under attack off late )

did I post this in wrong place ? ..... I still got problem, tried msconfig deleted all start ups still no joy any ideas anyone ? cheers

Hi web, what does happen when you select shut down in W7? Like you said that the screen shuts off but that is your doing, right?

Hi thanks for reply Boris, not sure what u meant, but maybe I didn't explain enough, ok so I shut down, things start to shut down as normal pc monitor goes off, but my pc tower doesn't shut down, lights still on fans still running for ever, until I hold start button to stop

If you have Fast Startup enabled in Win 10 I would disable that and see if it makes a difference.

Do you have a Restore Point or Backup Image from before the problem started ?

Run a System File Check (Option Two) to make sure you don't have any errors that can't be corrected.
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

When you re-boot Win 7 look at Event Viewer to see if there are any recent errors listed that might help.

Hi DavidE been really busy of late thanks your reply I think I've done what you suggested above results below but didn't find any thing wrong I don't think



above image is a representative of a big list nothing out the ordinary

Hi web,
That looks good to me, i don't see any problems, so my suggestions didn't help

Give this a try if you haven't already:
When you shutdown Win 7 and the monitor turns off but the PC is still running (lights on and fans running),
Instead of holding the power button to turn the PC off, turn the monitor on to see what/if anything is displayed.

not sure if monitor turns off maybe just in "power saving mode" least that's what it said when I turned off on again manually
