Delayed Shutdown After Update
On rare occasions when trying to shutdown a computer after a Windows Update, instead of shutting down, the computer will go into "Getting Windows Ready, Don't turn off your computer" display. This might occur when shutting down maybe an hour or less after installing the update and could last in excess of 15 minutes. Normally you would receive this after installing an update as it goes through the process of finishing the installation. But the update installation had completed well before the attempt to shutdown and this shutdown delay never shows that it actually updates anything, as after that period of time it just shutdowns. This has happened on four different computers, again rarely. I originally thought it had something to do with Windows Defender until it just occurred on one that had a 3rd party AV. I have no idea what it is doing during this period and can be a nuisance. I have attached some event logs which don't seem to say much but may help.
