Windows 7 - Stuck on "Shutting Down".

[shmootz]

Hi,

I have read the other posts regarding this issue, however, nothing seems to have helped.

I am using boot camp on my Aluminum Macbook running Windows 7. Whenever I need to shut down or restart, the computer hangs on "shutting down" endlessly. The only way to shut down is a force shut down.

I have tried booting into safe mode and testing if shut down works. No problems there.

I then read a fix which said to try a clean boot, which I did too, but the problem persists.

I don't know what to test/do next. Does anyone have the same problem or know of a solution? I need to install a program which requires a soft restart (without force shutting down).

Thanks!
Adam.

I dont know how much help you are going to get. I wonder if some services are not shutting down in win 7. if that is the case win 7 will never shut down.

Suggest you look in Event viewer (type eventvwr in search) go to the windows log>application tab and look for critical errors. They have red in the left hand column. Look for errors that contain app hang, app crash, etc.

When you find them note the event ID and source codes and let us know what they are.

You might try this:

There is a delay when you shut down, restart, or log off a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

Thanks. Here are the results I got for Application Hang errors (I did not see Application Crash errors anywhere, although there were a lot of Application Errors). I selected all the App Hang errors and chose "Copy details as text". I hope it is not too much information.:

You might try this:

There is a delay when you shut down, restart, or log off a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

I looked at that, but on the Microsoft page it says something about receiving errors, where as I get no error message.

 

[seekermeister]

The one thing that stands out in your list of errors is Cyder2-0.1-RC2. I have no idea of what it is for, but the repetition and the fact that it is a RC would make it highly suspect.

 

[gregrocker]

Yes, uninstall that Cyder 2.0 program or app -whatever it is.

Also, turn off any Nvidia services installed with your driver as they are unneeded to run unless you use special video controls. In msconfig>Startup hover mouse over each entry to look for the presence of NV and uncheck it. There are normally 3 set to startup with Windows on each Nvidia graphics driver install.

Also look in Services list for Nvidia service and disable or set to manual. This leaves only the driver and none of the unneeded services, one of which is hanging your System.

To see the Performance>Diagnostics log which will reveal what else is hanging your shutdown, click on the WEI score link at Computer>Properties, select Advanced Tools and look at the Performance log.

Cyder 2 is a program for installing Cydia (jailbreak 'store') apps to iPhones through USB. It is only a .exe program that runs when I click on the .exe file. Should I still delete this?

Also, I looked in the msconfig startup tab, and there was nothing there regarding NV or Nvidia. In the Services list, I disabled one Nvidia property.

Thanks!
Adam

 

[shmootz]

In the Services list, I disabled one Nvidia property.

This seemed to have worked. Your help is really appreciated. Are there any limitations on disabling the "Nvidia Display Driver Service" from the services tab of msconfig?

Adam.

shmootz,

Cyder 2 is a program for installing Cydia (jailbreak 'store') apps to iPhones through USB. It is only a .exe program that runs when I click on the .exe file. Should I still delete this?

Only you can answer that question. Does it ever hang on shutdown, now with the Nvidia services disabled? It is obvious from the Event Viewer errors that the app does sometimes hang, but only you can know how consistent that problem is vs how important it's function is to you. You say that it only functions when you manually select it, but have you checked the Task Manager to insure that it's exe is not listed otherwise? It is possible for an exe to remain in the Task Manager even after closing the program that it belongs to. Whether that "dead" exe would cause a shutdown hang, would have to be determined by trial and error. Whatever the case is, I would make sure that it does not run on boot.

 

[shmootz]

Problem solved. Thanks a lot for your help. As I said before, removing the Nvidia service fixed the problem.

I will not delete Cyder until I begin having problems again. It does not seem to be showing up in task manager, so it should be fine.

 

[cliffhoof]

Help please.

Got the same issue myself now, and i have no clue how to fix it.. i have tried everything like you mentioned still my computer freezes at shutdown screen. uncheck nvidia service's didnt solve it either.. i will post my error texts from the log.
