Shut Down Duration

[Donald Jacobs]

Is there any way to shorten the amount of time it takes for the computer
to shut off when I perform the Shut Down operation?

Clear Page File At Shutdown

Note If you enable this feature, the shutdown time may be *increased*.

If ClearPageFileAtShutdown is set to 1, shutdown takes a *long* time.

Check this registry key...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Session Manager\Memory Management
Value Name: ClearPageFileAtShutdown
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Make sure that Value: is set 0

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.
