Resolved Windows 10 closing down much slower how to fix?

Computer OMEN 870-230na is only weeks old and now closing down much slower. Happening since recent Windows 10 update was installed by Microsoft Updates. Check of the Registry shows that WaitToKill is no longer available making what appears, a change impossible. Is there a procedure to reduce the time factor or does this no longer apply? Thanks Bobby.

 

Do not download anything, just follow the instructions Wait Time to Kill

 

lj50 thanks for response. Carried out as detailed, under Registry there is no WaitToKill App TimeOut shown on the list.

 

Rechecking but taking a different route solved the problem me think. Start>Run>type regedit>HKEY_LOCAL>MACHINE\System\Control001\Control\scroll down list to WaitToKill Service\Rt click it, choose Modify>change value 5000 to 1000>OK>Restart computer>Close again to take effect. Hope this will be of help to others. Bobby.

 

Great. Glad you got it fixed.

 

Is W10 finalizing updates or closing other programs when your long shutdown occurs? How long is this shut down period? Does your screen close and the comp continues for 30 seconds before shutting down?

 

Error is now solved. Screen did close but took several minutes to close down computer. Thanks for the responses appreciated.

 

I posted this elsewhere, but it seems to maybe apply to some situations:

My friend's Win 10 wouldn't shut down or restart. Would just hang up. Read somewhere to unclick the Fast Start box under Power settings. It's checked by default as a recommended option. But apparently it doesn't work on some computers. And now theirs shuts down and restarts like normal!

 

Interesting, but in my setup Fast Start box does not appear under Settings>Power. Thanks for your response JAK.

 

Control Panel\Power Options\Additional Power Settings\Change what power buttons do. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.

 

Thanks lj50.
