Hi,I was wondering if anyone else noticed this, when i click shutdown it takes a good min or two for anything to happen ( no response what so ever not even a flicker) than when it does go through the process of shutting down it takes quite a while to logoff. after logging off to shutting down its pretty quick though.P.s I manually close everything that I have open to avoid the force shutdown screen and same problem really slow reaction

I also get this issue sometimes, I also close everything befor shutting down.I have had one occurence that I told it to shut down and came back 40 minutes latter and it still stated shutting down. I left it on over night and it never shut down, had to turn off machine.

I get the same issue pretty often as well.

If I am not mistaken i also remember this was an issue when vista first came out but got sorted on update.

same here, shutdown and logon are both slow just like vista still is. Vista got a bit better with sp1 but not anything like xp isrobin

I have the same problem i found some solution to this problem but it also ain't working The post said go to your device manager & select your ieee 1394 bus host controller right click & select properties , go to power management tab & check the box where it's written "allow the device to save power" THE THING IS THAT I JUST DON'T SEE ANY POWER MANAGEMENT TAB THERE...!! help needed..! MY SPECS : WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 32 BIT EDITION ASUS P5KPL AM/PS MOTHERBOARD SEAGATE 500 GB HARD DISK ZEBRONICS NVIDIA 9600 GT 512 MB GRAPHIC CARD 3 GB RAM Sony dvd rw 22x writer Thanks in advance...!!!

Well I have looked at alot of forums about this and the Shutdown problem is becuse of the type of motherbord you have the was more then one when the RC came out but now if you have Acus then you have a problem becuase Windows 7 will not shutdown qwick it can take to 48 hours to 10 mins it can be between thoses once you first use Windows 7 with Asus you will not have that problem but you will do by the time of 1 month, somtimes it may shutdown but start back up my computer is always doing that! There is an update coming out soon I hope to fix this as I also Asus Many Thanks Richard

My 32 bit 'Zoostorm' Desktop [came with Vista-Installed] gives me this headache; but my 'Toshiba' 17" laptop Windows 7 pre installed--- upgraded to ULTIMATE ok! no problems at all: 'Computer' still shows Vista as Main-drive in the BOX and refuses to recognise other drives just installed! First I had to buy ULIMATE 'TWICE' as Microsoft popped up with a Balloon---Counterfeit--- supplied by Amazon UK; I have had no 'Refund' on the first!--- I have invested a few thousand $'s or &'s from my first days with DOS---Makes me want to switch to APPLE MAC! Not easy for a 'Pensioner' Cannot afford any boffins apart fom myself! Hope this helps others with this 'Ache' WESCOW W M DONALDSON

For everyone with slow shutdown times, follow my guide [1] to make a shutdown trace and compress the shutdown_BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl as 7z or RAR and upload it to your Skydrive [2] and post the link here. I take a look at the trace, maybe I see what's wrong with your Windows. regards André [1] http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=140247 [2] http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02db-4665-993a-08d865088d65"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/
