When the shutdown hangs (and you have to reset or power cycle), go into
Event Viewer to see if something happened at the time you tried to shutdown
(remember to note the time). Could be a process is refusing to comply with
a request to exit it.

It progresses through Windows is shutting down, to a dark screen, but
doesn't shutdown. How to access the Event Viewer at that point? Is
that somehow part of the Task Manager? ...

With Windows Shutdown, the dark screen is unresponsive to anything,
except a manual shutdown ...

S. G.

What Vanguard meant was the next time you boot into Windows, then go into
the event viewer and see if the faulty shutdown left an error message there.
Event viewer is in Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer.
Post back if it gives you any interesting information. HTH, J
