Windows 10 Enterprise taking over 2 minutes to shutdown (not always)
I realize this is possibly one of the many repeat topics about the same subject matter, but I'm at a loss.
The OS on my work laptop is taking over 2 minutes to shut down. And it's not me timing it, it's the OS timing it. I've checked the Performance logs in Event Viewer (200-299 ID events), and this is the last one:
The annoying thing is that most of the events are ID 200 (shutdown) events. There are a few 203 (slow service shutdown) events, but they don't correlate to slow shutdowns and don't point to any worrisome services. In fact, as the title states, this isn't ALWAYS the case. Ever so often the system will shut down able amount of time.Code:Windows has shutdown: Shutdown Duration : 132058ms IsDegradation : true Incident Time (UTC) : 2017-08-22T11:55:19.097021000Z
I've disabled Windows 10 "Fast Startup" knowing that this causes Windows to basically hibernate the OS kernel (I don't care about that) and hopefully decrease the shutdown times, but this didn't help.
I'd appreciate more logs in the Event Viewer to try and help me pinpoint the problem, but no luck. I've enabled detailed system information when shutting down, and it's just stuck on the final "shutting down" - so it doesn't seem like it's waiting for any of the major Windows services.
I'll try a clean-boot, but frankly, this doesn't feel like the right way to go (given that the system doesn't ALWAYS shut down this slowly, the results of this test will feel inconclusive even if this works, plus it won't point towards an actual cause other than "some service").
What else could I possibly try and do?
EDIT:
Just to make a point - at the time of that last long shutdown, my laptop wasn't running any apps (I shut down everything manually). The OS is also updated with the latest updates from Microsoft and is running the latest W10 build.
