Why it takes so long to shut down?
I have a Skylake i5 6600K CPU, a Z170 MoBo and 8G DDR4 3000 .
Win 7 HP is on a Samsung 850 Pro and \Users is on a HDD (2xWD500 Block on RAID 0 array).
It's a powerful machine and everything runs without issues.
On a cold start, It takes about 40 Sec from POST to Skype log on.
What is strange, is that it takes 25 sec to shut down.
I can understand that to start it has to read and crunch a lot of data so I think that 40 sec is acceptable and I consider it's fast (Compared to the more than 3 minutes on a HDD).
Linux Lubuntu takes 9 seconds to do same thing. But it doesn't have antivirus, firewall etc.
On a Shut down it shows the "Windows it's shutting down" for about 22 seconds and apparently nothing is being done. Then you see the HDD LED flash for 3 seconds and it shuts down.
I guess that on a shut down it has to stop some services and then update the user register data on the disk.
What happens on those 22 seconds that apparently nothing is being done?
Again, Linux Lubuntu takes 2 seconds to do same thing.
