Windows takes forever to stop

When I hit the computer there is a long delay (> 3 minutes) before turning off the computer window appears and another (Windows closed) delay from 3 other minutes before the screen is empty. How can I fix?

Process probably not respond, fix, go to run, type: regedit

In regedit, expand: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop\locate

& L.click on "AutoEndTasks", go to edit, modify, change the value from 0 to 1.

When at the exit, exit regedit.

  • Windows takes time to stop when the computer is turned off

    has had to reload xp without windows takes a long time to stop

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    You re - install Windows XP and still have the same problem?

    During the shutdown of the Windows XP computer, it may take longer time to complete the shutdown process. Slow stops are caused a lot of factors. One of the causes is the clear pagefile at shutdown option enabled.

    Try the following steps:

    Use the Group Policy Editor

    a. Click Start, run and type in "Secpol.msc".
    b. click local policies | Security options.
    (c) in the right pane, set stop: clear the pagefile of virtual memory for people with reduced mobility.

    However, this setting is not the only cause of slow closures. No relevant programs and Services also contribute to slow closures.

    If the problem is seen recently after installing a driver software or third-party, try a system restore to see if that solves the problem of the slow stop.

    I hope that helps!

  • Computer takes forever to stop + display does not properly

    Hello

    My computer began to take a long time to shut down (10-15 minutes) and then crashes with blue screen of death...

    Also when it comes on sometimes it loads but I have no display and my screen goes to power saving mode

    If I reboot, it takes forever to shutdown, then crashes, restarts, and the screen does not work until I'm physically hold the power button to turn off and then turn it on again, then the display works fine again. This only started happening in the last day or two, after I did a system restore.

    Any ideas what could be the problem?

    I have a laptop (Thinkpad 2082.BSG) T500, and recently, I had to repair after that the stettings of the factory have been resettled.

  • the Player Windows media, rip a CD takes forever

    When I copy a CD it takes forever. This has changed recently because it was fast. It takes between 15 and 20 minutes to rip a standard CD. It is used to do this in 2 or 3 minutes. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest version, but it did not help. I am ripping to MP3 format 128. I ran CCleaner and Avast. Any suggestions?

    Hi razorray1,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. Do you have any third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer?
    3. What version of Windows media player installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • Windows 7 takes forever to empty the trash

    When I delete the file it takes forever to empty the Recycle Bin on Windows 7
    Something must be wrong, for example, it will take nearly 7 minutes to empty the trash containing 2 GB!

    I feel that I did something wrong because my first installation of windows 7 this problem does not occur

    Thank you

    Zvika

    Hi Zvika,

    If running Chkdsk (according to the post of Ramesh Kumar) does not help, you can determine whether this problem is caused by third-party shell extensions. You can use ShellExView from Nirsoft to work.
