Are you trying to get up from your desk and go about your other business but Windows 7 will not shut down? Are you getting sick and tired of it taking forever for your computer to shut down? Are you tempted to do that no-no and simply hold your power button down even though you know you are not supposed to? If your Windows 7 will not shut down, try a few simple steps to get everything back in tiptop shape before you lose your patience and contemplate throwing your computer out the front door.
First, clean up your startup menu.
Go into your startup menu and get rid of any files that are really unnecessary.
I mean, do you really have to have your computer get your photo-cropping software ready to use every single time you turn your computer on? Excess programs in the startup menu slow down both the startup and shutdown times.
Second, get rid of unused programs.
If your computer came with a bunch of programs you haven't used since you tried them out when you took the computer out of the box, get rid of them.
They just jam up the works and slow everything down.
Third, go to your Internet history and clean it up.
Some people never even think about doing this, but all sorts of little pieces of information enter your computer via your Internet travels.
If Windows 7 will not shut down, this is one of the few simple steps you can try.
Finally, you need to deal with any issues that are housed in your computer's Windows registry.
It is possible to manually clean up your registry, but it is safer, easier, and faster to simply employ the assistance of a third-party registry cleaner program.
These programs are practically guaranteed to have your system running at top speed just like when it was brand new.
So if your Windows 7 will not shut down, try these few simple steps and love your computer again.
