Shutdown Query
When I left click windows icon, left click the power icon and select 'shut down' the machine goes through the process of shutting down. After it has been off for 5 minutes, I press the power button on the side of the monitor to start it up. I wait another 5 minutes to give windows sufficient time to load everything. I run reliability history or event viewer, either one, and it shows a critical event. Windows was not shut down properly. Windows closed unexpectedly. What causes such a reply? How do you shut down windows properly?
