Hello Everyone, I've recently noticed that my PC is hanging up a little bit when I shut down. When I hit the shutdown button my PC sits at the desktop, which remains active and isn't frozen, for a few more seconds before it actually shuts down. Is there a fix for this?
My hard drive is a Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD.
On a side note, I did recently re-install Windows 7 from an old system image, but I can't remember if the shut down problems started directly after that, or some time since then.
EDIT: Upon further review, when my PC does move past the desktop, the time it takes to actually shutdown is a lot longer. I believe my start-up time is slightly slower also.
EDIT 2: Aha! I found the culprit, it's my anti-virus causing the slow shutdown. I recently upgraded from Kaspersky Pure 2.0 to 3.0
Does anyone know how to stop your anti-virus from doing this?
Thanks for the help,
Josh
