Default Shutdown longer than usual

have my shutdown time to 17 seconds, Reinstalled them and it now is
staying the same at a solid 17 seconds after about 5 or 6 reboots and
shutdowns, so guess I will leave well enough alone.
I don't know what caused the 26 to 28 second shutdowns but I won't
lose too much sleep over itÂ* (maybe 10 seconds a night).Â* :-)

The analysis part is the hard part, so
you've had a good result so far. At least
the problem is now leaning in the right
direction :-)

Maybe something had self-updated and got
itself in a mess.

If there were PendMoves being handled at shutdown,
at least you'd see the juggling balls. Some other
sort of shutdown problem, maybe the balls would
be done by then.

My stubbornness prevailed again, I just had to keep nipping at it's
heels and found the following Site.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...status-message

which let me put the shutdown session in a verbose mode then watch it
tell me exactly what was happening.
Great stuff, in my case it is "AsusUpdatecheck.exe" which is hogging
about 13 or 15 seconds of my shutdown time, When I disable it my
shutdown falls back to about 5 seconds, This file resides in System32.

Now the problem I face is that no matter how I stop it, run manually or
disable it in services it comes back to life on a restart, Is there a
way to disable it permanently, I've uninstalled all the Asus stuff I can
find but Windows must keep a copy of it's own somewhere.
What do I need? A wooden stake or a Silver bullet. :-)
