Re: [H] Win 10 won't shut down
Jamie, Didn't notice your email because Gmail stuck it in spam. But thanks for the response. It turns out that I had a device attached to the USB that was causing a long delay in shutdown, probably about 10-15 minutes. I had just bought one of those USB cassette players to transfer songs to digital. While it does that great (hint: it attaches as a USB sound device so you can select it in Audacity), it has some problem with being connected at shutdown. So I removed it and all is fine.

Open a command prompt, type in shutdown /s /t 1 and see what happens? If it works, try a normal shut down again and see if that works.

When I click the shutdown button, nothing happens until I do Cntrl-Alt-Del, then there's a quick flash of an error message and the spinning dots show up and that's where it sits. I haven't let it run that way more than 10 minutes, though. Any ideas? ThanksSteve
