From time to time my PC is stuck on shutdown : "Saving your settings"



1) All the "High-priority updates " are included

What else can be checked ??

Sometimes it takes "forever" for your PC to shut down after
installing a particularly large update.

I'd give it probably 30 MINUTES. If it doesn't reboot after
you've fixed-- and eaten-- your dinner, turn it off and then
on again.

One thing that IS sometimes required with the modern systems
is PATIENCE.

I've had the system go through an "update and shutdown "
that took literally 30 - 45 MINUTES.

It truly does take awhile sometimes.


Good luck!

If you experience slow logoff (with Saving your settings for most of the
time while logging off), you are having profile unload problems.

If you see a lot of Userenv/1517, Userenv/1524 or Userenv/1500 errors in the
Event Viewer, download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service.

This decreased my shutdown time a bunch. Takes any where from 10 to 20
seconds to shutdown.

C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe is added.

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service gets added to Services and
uphclean.exe will run all the time. I am one that doesn't like to have any
extra services running, but I am sold on UPHClean.

I have the same problem. All Windows XP updates are done, my welcome screen
is turned off, and, I followed the advice in some of these posts and
installed the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service and also reduced the number
of times it tries to save the settings from 60 to 20. But none of these fixed
the problem.

I really want to do a system restore, but I can't because it hangs on
shut-down at "saving your settings" (I left it all night last night, just in
case it needed a lot of time!).

Here are some of the numerous items in the Event Viewer list -- these are
just samples of some of the events that appear over and over again in the
list. I'm not completely computer-illiterate, but a lot of the info in these
events is greek to me (Note - this is a Dell laptop supplied by the
university I work for with a "template" of university software installed -
their "User Support Centre", not-so-affectionately known as the "Useless
Support Centre" is currently closed - not that they would be able to help
anyway - so I'm really hoping someone here can help.

I use Novell to log on to my computer. I use Trend-Micro PC-Cillin and
disabled all the university-installed McAffee services this morning in case
the problem was caused by conflicts -- doing so did not fix the problem.
NOTE: I replaced some potentially identifying info with asterisks):

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring
the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
