Computer do not close

Stays in "shutting down" mode indefinitely. Stopping manually with the computer.

Sometimes it helps to run CHKDSK C: /F in a command prompt. It will ask you if you want to run it at the next startup. Say Yes and restart the machine.

Maybe it's a corrupted profile. Try to create a new and see if it continues.

  • Computer do not close completely

    Sometimes, when I turned off my computer, it is not completely closed.  It should go through the normal process and would then get stuck to the screen that says Shutting Down.  The screen does not appear to be frozen, as the cycle in the middle is still running.  I accidentally left my computer for one night because I thought I had shut down the computer completely, but the next day, I see that the computer is always stuck at the screen of closing down.  Happened three times now in about three weeks.  It would be appreciated if someone could help me with this problem.

    Hello

    Quite true that intermittent issues such as that are very difficult to find and fix.

    Update your drivers and do not forget that your anti-virus settings are correct. Search for startup in conflict programs.
    Suspect TrendMicro who is not known for its compatibility. You can remove it by using their
    removal tools and special instructions to see if the problem resolves. You can use the MSE or Avast
    as below during the test (and I would stick with one of them).

    =======================================
    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    =======================================

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

    manually if you wish.

  • Various problems of 64-bit Windows 7: Scheduler of tasks, computer do not close, sfc/scannow

    Hello

    I have a Sony VAIO laptop, running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit (Home Premium 64-bit upgrade) that I had several problems with in the past months. I am considering a factory reset, but I'd rather not if possible. A few months ago, I solved a problem with the message of Bad Pool Header but that seems to be fixed to come up with the BSOD.

    Now, occasionally when turn off my computer it crashes, with the fan accelerates sometimes slow down then again randomly. Later (I'm sure) she gets a BSOD and then stops. I did not see coming, I see either the next day with a message like "your computer has stopped unexpectedly" or sometimes I held the power button after becoming impatient.

    Then I read an article on reliability monitor and is interested in what might happen, but it had not been updated since September 2013. I looked up why this could happen and discovered that I had to check for it in Task Scheduler. When I open the Task Scheduler I got an error saying that "the selected task"{0}"no longer exists. To see the common tasks, click on refresh. "When I click OK another message pops up saying"Task Scheduler is not available... ". "but when I click OK it shows the first error again.

    On another question on this Web site (error message: the selected task "{0}" no longer exists...) I read that I might need to delete some tasks that may be missing. I haven't lived a large part of the list in the Microsoft\Windows folder, but I found that, so far, applications experience and Bluetooth have tasks that create problems. I don't know if I want to just delete these because do not know if they are useful when you work or what they do.

    The last problem is when I run the sfc/scannow command prompt with administrator privileges in, he is able to find problems on my hard drive but is unable to correct. I discovered a way to run SFC in the command prompt in Windows Startup Repair (where I learned how). I ran sfc/scannow damaged = f:-/offwindir = f:\windows (drive letter was different) and he didn't show any problems on the drive and has not set the disk problems.

    Sorry for the issues. Just didn't know if it would be better to start these issues separately.

    Thank you

  • App store popup does not close.

    Does not close the pop-up 'Upgrade for os x El Capitan'. It forces me to the app store if I click on it. How can I get rid of him? I am running 10.9.5 on an iMac 2.66 GHz.

    The same window view was on my end 2012 Mini (Server i7) this AM and I first opened the

    App Store, but thought that it won't go away by that alone. There can be no. So I clicked on the button

    in the view of window and he raised point to the App Store of El Capitan. I then read

    through and then rest of the App Store has from here and leave the App Store.

    The notice window went. And I read more than I wanted in the low-score comments

    which have been posted on ElCapitan OS X. My Mini comes with the Mavericks, & is still there.

    No rush to upgrade, since my model has indications (another problem discovered user) when

    updated at ElCapitan regarding material and graphics; This has not been addressed.

    So, if you tried the button in the notice and went to see El Capitan in the App Store, then

    Choose one of the main display options in the App Store before leaving, which can make it go away.

    At least until tomorrow, when you wake up the computer again. Mine is rarely rebooted.

    I hope it will work. Don't know if you need to do anything else that put a piece of

    Black Ribbon on the package insert or create a blind spot in your vision, selectively ignore it.

  • You can save a broken computer? My computer does NOT start after the blue hp screen.

    In the past months, my computer has been the object of a freezing randomly, and Ctrl + Alt + Delete does not work. I stopped him via the power button. Sometimes, when I start it again, the computer moniter shows nothing but a black screen and the computer sounds different when it starts normally. When this happens, I turn it off again hit the left side of the desktop and turn on again. Whenever I do this, the computer starts normally, and I go on the computer use.

    Yesterday morning, after a break of 2 days, acess my computer and it is random freezing thing once again. I force close down as one normally do, and the computer does not start and displays the same black screen and the same fan/air weird sound. I stopped him and I hit the side RIGHT this time, I think and when I turn on the computer, the usual blue HP screen appears with the establishment, boot, diagnostics and system recovery things. HOWEVER, after this screen, a black screen will appear with this weird blue symbol on the upper left corner, I have never seen this and it looks like a circle with a triangle and a Pentagon below and it remains essentially on this screen forever. When I try to hit the establishment, boot, diagnostics and the shortcuts to system recovery, on the lower left side of the screen, it says "Menu boot loading...". ' or whatever the shortcut of loading represents, but nothing ever happens. When I press the other keys, this tapping noise comes from the computer at each tap of the keyboard.

    I have no idea what to do, and at this point, my first priority is to save important files on the computer. Does anyone know what is the problem? I want her more than a problem of system rather than a virus problem because refusing the boot black screen thing lasts for years. My computer is 3-4 years. I enclose a sketch of what looks like the weird symbol.

    MY COMPUTER WORKS NOW!

    With the flash drive, I was able to access the BIOS, which before, I couldn't.

    Eventually my computer was in some strange sort of lockdown setting, I switched it back to activate and now its work! I remember save important things in the future. Thank you very much for your help!
