You do have Norton so see if the Intel security is listed in uninstall a program if so uninstall it.

No Intel security installed.

Looking at post #9.

With all those Startups and Non Microsoft services running, any one of them could cause a slow shut down.

My system.

As stated in the OP all non Microsoft services and startup items were also disabled. The same problem persists.

Please forgive me for my error. I missed or forgot about your clean boot in your post #1.

Have a nice day.

No worries. Thanks for helping :)

Hi,
The services and startups don't lie you do have it somewhere possibly by another name
I don't it's your issue I was just pointing out odd ones :/

You might reset CMOS :/

Hi TrashZone. Yes it is in the services but there doesn't seem to be any program associated in the program list or could it be the Intel Management Engine Components as shown below?



In any case I disabled all Intel related services as shown below, rebooted, then tried to shutdown but the problem still persists. Would a complete uninstall of Intel software be necessary?



I'll try a CMOS reset see if that works although I think I tried that sometime ago. I will try that again.

CMOS reset did nothing.

Anyone else has some recommendations?

@polanskiman

You could try using a trace, but you would probably have to ask for help from cluberti, the tutorial author for using this:
Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace

I've never used the trace, never had to, but i would reach out to cluberti for help in using this tutorial if i needed to solve a stubborn problem such as yours.
