I've been running on Win 10 for almost a year now, but about 3 weeks ago my computer started shutting of really slowly. After I go on Start and shut off the PC, I get the usual shutting down screen with the little spinning circle. Normally the screen goes dark and the PC shuts off after a few seconds. But now, after the screen goes dark the fans and lights in my PC stay on for a good 30-45 seconds and then shut off. I haven't had any hits on my performance, the PC works perfectly and it turns on in about 10-15 seconds like it did before but the slow shut down is getting on my nerves. Help Please! TIA

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Seems it can't find anything wrong with the PC...

How old is the harddrive?

Plus if its an older Windows 10 install before 1511 rolled out, I went ahead and did a Fresh install again.
It made my computer much more responsive. Just make sure to create the new install media for the 1511 version.

It's Win 10 Version 1511 and it's installed on a Kingston SSDNowV300 128GB that is about a year and a half old.
I did some testing of the SSD speed with crystal mark just to see if it was slowing down a bit and, although not as good as it once was, the speed is still in the norm for this SSD (it's not the fastest on the market of course). Don't know if checking the speed is of any use though.
