Suggestions:

This edit controls whether Windows should automatically
power down or reboot your computer
once it has finished the shutdown process.

This edit allows you to configure Windows so that you
receive verbose startup, shutdown,
logon, and logoff status messages. This may be helpful to
in troubleshooting slow startup,
shutdown, logon, or logoff behaviour.
