I am using Win7 64-bit and would like to shorten the shutdown time which averages just under 2 minutes. I think it is the result of hanging applications but I can not find a log showing shutdown-related events. What I am looking for is a log showing each portion of the shutdown process OR exception events showing problems occurring during the process.
I have tried closing all apps in the systray before initiating shutdown and that did not seem to make a difference.
I have looked in perfmon and event viewer and unable to locate the desired information. The regular Application Event Viewer is not showing any crashing or hanging apps. Could it be non-application related process such as saving a profile, closing ports or connections?
I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts you might have. Thanks!
