    Hello Gordie,

    It's Windows Update installing available updates at shutdown. Since they are older slower PCs, it will probably take a while for it to finish installing the updates before shutting down.

    Shut Down Windows - Enable or Disable "Install Updates and Shut Down"

    Hope this helps, :)

    In that case, go ahead and restart the PC. Press and hold the power button until it shuts down if needed. Afterwards, restart the PC, and check for any Windows Updates.
