XP gets hung up in "Windows is shutting down"
Whenever I shut down or restart, all the programs close nicely then the blue
screen comes up "Windows is shutting down". But it gets stuck there and the only way I can shut down is manually. Most annoying. I like to restart then go away and come back with a fresh reboot. Now it gets stuck. |

Usually that's caused by unresponsive processes that continue to run.
To solve that problem(s),go to run,type: regedit In regedit,expand HKEY_ CURRENT_USER,controlpanel, then open desktop.Locate & L.click on AutoEndTasks Go to edit,modify,set to 1 from its default 0 Once done,close out regedit.

It solved the problem for about a week. Now, the problem is back. I checked
the registry and it's still set at 1. "Andrew E." wrote: Usually that's caused by unresponsive processes that continue to run.
