Often, many users are faced with the fact that their computer, which they have been using for more than one year, turns off for a long time, especially if the Windows operating system is installed on it. What is the reason for this behavior of a personal computer?
One of the reasons for a long shutdown of a computer may be an operating system that has been running on it for more than one year. During this time, a lot of software has accumulated, some of the applications are automatically added to startup. Each time you turn on the PC, they are loaded with the operating system and remain running, regardless of whether you will use them in work or not. And when shutting down, the system gives time for applications to shutdown without errors. And the more programs are installed and running, the more time is spent on shutting down the computer. You can fix the state of affairs and speed up the shutdown of the computer, for this, in the main menu, select the "Run" command, enter Msconfig there. Go to the Startup tab and clear the extra check boxes, then click OK. When you turn off your computer, the operating system will shutdown all applications. If the program does not respond, the system waits for a while and then forcibly terminates its execution. If the waiting time is long enough and there are a lot of freezing applications, then the computer takes a long time to shut down. Therefore, before shutting down, it is better to close all applications yourself, or even better, in the process of work, close all unused programs. For example, quite a lot of programs do not close after clicking on the "Cross", but are minimized to the system tray. Prolonged shutdown of the computer may also be associated with errors in the registry. To fix this, install a special application, for example, Ccleaner, and use it to search for and fix errors in the registry. This will enable your computer to run and shut down faster. Also, one of the reasons for the long shutdown of the PC may be the presence of malware on the computer. Most viruses can stay in the system for a long time and not give themselves out, but some of them significantly slow down the work of both individual applications and the entire operating system.
