One of the most irritating and sometimes recurring problems in Windows Vista is that it won't shut down no matter how many times you try. It may also start to reboot when you try to turn off the PC. You are in a major fix when such problem arises as the PC won't shut down or restart and your project may be stuck in between. Else, you might see a blue screen without letting you make any progress further with the PC. If you are a non-geek, you will resort to contacting a local repair shop for fixing the problem. Even if you are a computer geek than the recurrence of this problem will irritate and you might look forward to get a permanent fix or at least some handy settings that make you fix this problem next time it occurs.
Therefore, we have brought you a
comprehensive support guide that will resolve all your queries related to
Windows Vista shutdown problem.
Common Causes
Hardware- If you installed a new
hardware but not compatible drivers than it is the likely cause of the shutdown
problem. If you try to update drivers in order to support hardware, it might
corrupt internal files leading to problem in shutdown. It is commonly known as
hardware compatibility issue.
Corrupted registry- If you have
removed/uninstalled a program but not its registry entry, then it's likely to
prevent Windows XP from shutting down. Or, if some registry entry is corrupted,
you'll face problem shutting it down. A corrupted registry can risk your PC's
security also.
Better Solutions
Run Antivirus Scan- If the PC seems
to be infected with a virus or other malicious software, then run an antivirus
scan. Your antivirus should detect and remove all the malicious virus programs
in the PC. This should ultimately resolve the shutdown problem caused by a
virus.
Driver Update- Install or reinstall
Windows Vista-compatible drivers. The latest drivers can be downloaded from
different websites including Microsoft. Furthermore, most of the websites
including Microsoft provide the list of compatible hardware and software
versions.
Repair Corrupted/Unremoved
Registry-You need to download and run 'registry cleaner program' on your PC. It
is easier and more comfortable way to clean the pending or corrupt registry
entries.
Run a Clean Boot:
- Ensure your PC is powered on and booted up
- Log onto the PC using administrator privileges
- Click on 'Start', a menu will appear
- In the 'Start Search' box, key in 'msconfig.exe' and hit 'Enter' on the keyboard
- If there is a prompt for entering administration password, key in the password, or click on 'Continue'
- When a window appears, click on the 'General' tab, from the options click on 'Selective Startup' option and then uncheck the 'Load Startup Items' option
- On the 'Services' tab, check 'Hide All Microsoft Services' and then click on 'Disable all'
- Click on 'OK' and then click on 'Restart'
Despite performing abovementioned
steps, if your Vista keeps giving shutdown problems, then contact a
Microsoft-certified professional support that identifies the actual issue and
resolve it.
