Re: Shutdown

There was one i did , and I'm pretty sure it was from your site.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Psched
it removes the default 20% bandwidth that Vista uses for example (update downloads), so I removed that , and now i have all 100% DL speed dedicated for other stuff...big difference.

Can you link me to this?
I need it for a friend of mine, then I'll link him to it and register for this great site of yours.

Re: Shutdown

Hello Antonyua,

It sounds like you have .reg files associated to open with Notepad by mistake. You can fix this in Default Programs by changing the Current Default program for the .reg file types back to Registry Editor (C:\Windows\regedit.exe). Afterwards, you should be able to merge the .reg download file from here.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Shutdown

LOL, you're welcome.

.vbs opens with Microsoft (R) Windows Based Script Host (C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe) as the default program.

Re: Shutdown

My shut down time is more than 3 mins, what could be causing this?

Its not updates because they are turned off, any ideas ?

If there is any information you need to help me figure out what the problem is just tell me what you need, thanks

Re: Shutdown

Hello Danielson,

Do you have anything running when shutting down the computer? You can check in Task Manager to see what is running before you shutdown.

Did you already do this tutorial? Did it help any at all?

In the mean time, you can use this shutdown shortcut that forces an instant shutdown until you find what program is causing the hang-up at shutdown.

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn
