Windows hangs following normal shutdown procedure

After using the start/power options to shut down the PC it goes into the clue background screen with the revolving circle of white dots and just stays like hat for hours.

Try turning off fast start up under power options that can sometimes cause that issue

Hi Mc Ruff, your advice worked thanks very much.

I've had this issue a couple of times when fast startup is turned off. The PC subsequently powered down correctly after pushing the reset button. I never did work out the cause. I also have another PC which is prone to shutting down then restarting again which I'm trying to solve.
