When to stop my XP computer, I have to select shut down twice in the order so that it turns off

For about two months to switch my computer down I had to use the procedure (start, shut down the computer, turn it off) TWICE. Why?

It is likely due to some loading process and execution in memory that the computer is priority on the processes you have running to stop.

as test, try to start in safe mode, navigate around your system files for a minute or two just to give a little time for the safe mode to completely load and idle.   then run a stop down.

If the closure via safe mode is appropriate, then this is because nonessential processes were not loaded in memory, as in normal mode.

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact). How you pass to the internal laptop display varies, but most cell phone companies make a combination of keys, such as Fn + F6 or something.  Looking for a symbol that looks like a monitor.  It is usually color coded and requires activation of a Fn key.

  • Default configuration of the windows features. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer... HEEELLLPP!

    After restart my Asus X55oE due to necessary updates, I got «default configure features windows.» Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. After reading several messages through other forums, I turned it and then turn again only to receive the same screen. Some of these forums say that it can take 2 hours or more because of so many updates made at the same time. I think I was trying to upgrade windows 8 for windows 8.1.

    I'm really worried about it just because I just got back this PC from ASUS and am needing to work. Can someone tell me if there are other options or make sure that it just take a while? I also read that you can actually go to the control panel > windows update > help to erase mistakes. Also, someone said that you can customize the number of updates at a time can be both. I certainly do not happen again. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
