What to do if the computer does not turn off
Quite often it happens that when you tryShut down the computer or laptop through the Start menu does not happen. Most often this happens as follows: the user selects Start-Shutdown, a message appears indicating that the Windows settings were saved, and then "Shutdown" appears on the screen or simply the operating system icon, after which no changes are made. And in this condition, the machine can stay for hours until the user disconnects it from the network mechanically (power button on computers or battery removal on laptops).
Do not turn off the laptop, what to do
This problem is especially actual for laptops,which recently reinstalled the operating system. It arises because of the incorrect operation of the operating system or USB-hub. The first thing to do in this situation is to turn off the power and remove the battery for a couple of minutes, then load the laptop again. If the cause is in the power management of the USB hub, then the situation may repeat on the next shutdown. To avoid this, you simply turn off this very control. Note that this function in laptops is designed to increase the battery life, but not all devices interact with it correctly, which leads to problems with disconnection.

To do this, go to the path - Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administration - Event Viewer. We are interested in the System and Application logs, where you can see reports on the latest errors.
To disable any program from theStartup, you must re-enter the Start menu, then click Run and, in the window that appears, write msconfig. This command will open access to the configuration of the system configuration, select the Startup tab, look for the name of the program that caused the conflict and remove the checkmark in front of it, and then click Apply. Also, this can be done with the help of special programs, for example CCleaner.
If the problem is caused by some service, thengo to the Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. In the window that appears, you will see a list of various services with a brief description of each, looking for the conflicting one and clicking on its name twice. In the window that appears, select the General tab, which will contain the Startup type menu item, select Disabled and click the Apply button.
