Windows 10 hanging on shutdown, can't locate the issue.

i've had this problem in win10 and found the culprit was Intel Manegement Engine.

This worked for me:

Device Manager/ System Devices/ Intel(R) Management Engine Interface

Then: right click properties and select driver, uninstall, delete driver.

And reboot

Turn off "fast startup". See if the issue persists.

its the 1st thing i disable after installing windows.

i'm sure your idea worked for some but in my case this setting has never been "on" for more than 5 minutes

the real solution is update or remove the intel driver.

thanks anyway
