Certain Programes Make Windows 10 Shutdown Time Longer
This is my first post and question so if it is not in the correct topic say to me and I'll try to move this to the right one.
My problem is about driver, application and probably compability issues that's why I put this one in the genereal topic.
I have a gaming PC which I've assembled it about a year ago. It was running smooth and nice. Because of my job and training at my job I couldn't use my PC like 3 months. I came back and started to use it at the middle of April. Until the last 10 days It was running fine and starts up so fast(When I open my monitor PC was already in the desktop.), also shuts down so fast (approx. 4 seconds).
But for some reason those time spans started to be longer. For example now when I press the shut down button PC shuts itself down at approx. 8-9 seconds and when I startup the PC and monitor when the monitor opens Windows would still be loading unlike the past. Because there are so many updates, I couldn't figure out if it was an application, driver issue or Windows Update issue. So I decided to clean install the OS again to see what is the reason. And after I installed Windows 10 again first without any driver and application I tried to startup and shutdown the PC and there were no problems, time spans were good. Also from BIOS I activated Fast Boot to make startup times shorter.
Then I started to install drivers and applications that I use one by one. Later I realized that certain applications and drivers make the OS shuts down slower and making the time longer. For example Geforce Experience, Killer Network Manager, ESET Smart Security makes shutdown time from 4 to 8 seconds. It doesn't matter how many of them are installed. As long as there are one of them then the shut down time becomes 8 seconds. I tried to delete them and then the shut down time decreased to 4 seconds again. I can't delete the applications or drivers because two of them are mandatory drivers for my PC. But when I install them they make my PC shutdown slower.
I've never used Fast Startup in the power options because when it's active I get an error from BIOS "D4" or "04" so I've used my PC that setting closed all the time. Also when I was looking up for this issue I've found some tips about how to make Windows 10 shutdown faster. I tried some tips like from the regedit tweaking the timeout registries. I've decreased them to 1000 but nothing's changed
The main problem for me is it wasn't like this. At past all of them were installed and my PC were starting up, shutting down fast. But now they are longer and I know it's not that much of a difference but I actually want to know why it is like this.
I hope you could help me
Thanks.
