i'm curious... i've wondered how long it takes for everyone else's computer to shut down. MY computer: after all day use, it takes 5-9 secs to shut off completely right after hitting shut down button


what about you guys?

[Planemad]

Well about 5 - 15 seconds

About 30 seconds, I don't understand how hard is it for the engineers of Microsoft to make it shut down faster.

Cool. 8)


Everyone here so far probably has normal shutdown time. If it takes much more than 30 seconds, then something would be wrong, but upto about 30 seconds is normal for some people who have a bunch of things opened in their older computer. Most people should see it shutdown a lot sooner than 30 seconds.

By the way, it does no harm to the computer to put it in Hibernate instead of Shutdown if you are only going to be gone from the computer - say - overnight. If you have work to continue the next day or open windows and programs, then the computer will take you to where you were when you pushed the Hibernate button. An exception would be that it will not place you in a mission where you left it.

Pushing Shutdown while some programs are running can cause problems, so close things first then Shutdown. It's like putting the car in Park and then turning off the key.

Thread was moved to PC Technical Help by me.
