Now, using the left-hand pane tunnel down as follows:

Right-click on Operational.

In the top-section of the middle pane, various events are listed.

Click on EventID to sort the events from smallest to largest.

EventID 100 is for Boot Performance.
EventID 200 is for Shutdown Performance

Maybe there are programs or third-party drivers which not properly closed.

A common source of a slow shutdown is that you have scheduled certain programs to run at shutdown time, perhaps some AV action, a defrag, a cleanup.
