The problem of Windows refusing to shut down has greatly been reduced with the recent versions of XP, Vista and Windows 7. There is however, many times where you click the “Shut Down” button and nothing happens or there is a constant whirring noise coming from your hard disk.
More often than not your computer will just hang and you cannot click on any icon or save important work before shut down. Finally, you end up pressing the reset button or turning the power off at the mains wall socket. This is NOT what you want to do as shutting down a computer this way can harm important settings and of course cause burn outs to PC components.
For laptops users, it may even take removing the battery in order to shut down Windows – causing lost work, saved game data and other maybe even important emails not be saved.
Many PC users ask the same question: “Why does my computer not shut down?” – the answer is that it could be several reasons for this. It may be a driver problem, a software conflct between two or more recently installed devices or a serious problem with the Windows registry.
The registry is the central hub of your computer and it is vital that this is kept in top working condition in order for your PC to run at a fast speed and helps to solve PC shutdown problems. Use RegCure to scan your computers system registry and see if it needs to be cleaned and optimized.
