Is that every time you want to close down ?

I take it you are doing Start / Shut Down then selecting Shut Down from the drop down options.

My initial reaction is there is a process that is running that the shut down process can't stop. If this has only just started happening I would try and boot up using a previously successful load. I think that option is available on the Home edition

RESTORE
