I never start Vista in Safe Mode, so I don't know if it has this same problem when running in safe mode or not. Although, I'm not sure if that's what you meant. Please explain. Also, when I first posted this problem, I thought it would eventually shut down. It might have, but after about 25 minutes or so, I got fed up and shut off the computer.
Then restarted it. I have only shut it down once since last night and it took about one minute to shut down. Posted 04 August - PM.
Restart computer in safe mode and see, if it'll shut down form there with no problem. It'll help us diagnose your issue. Posted 05 August - AM. I came in this morning and tried to shut down Vista. I noticed that the F-Secure icon had a red X through it. F-Secure is Charter's desktop security suite. It again took a very long time and finally gave me the error message that the sidebar was preventing it from shutting down. After exiting the sidebar, it again was taking forever to shut down and I had to turn off the computer.
I started the computer in Safe Mode several times and it shut down without any problems. Posted 05 August - PM. Click on Startup tab. In case of laptop , make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.
Click Services tab. Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services Click Disable all. Click OK. Restart computer in Normal Mode. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running. If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.
Try to shut down computer and let me know, how it went. Posted 06 August - AM. I did as you said and it had no problems shutting down. By the way, I have only found that it has this problem after the computer has been left on all night.
Posted 06 August - PM. OK, now you need some time and a lot of patience to investigate possible culprit. Go back to "msconfig" and re-enable ONE of the services, you just disabled. Restart computer, try to shut it down. Went fine? Re-enable next service. I suggest, you start with F-Secure. Edited by Broni, 06 August - PM. OK, but are you talking about what's listed in the Services tab? I didn't disable those, I just checked "Hide all Microsoft Services", which is now unchecked. Windows Vista Desktop UI.

I forced the issue though by making vista KILL all programs, demons, etc much quicker.
Normally vista is set to take 20 seconds each or milliseconds. But for some reason, his default setting in the registry seems to allow pesky programs to stay alive far longer than that as if having too long a setting is the same as disabling the Kill command. My out of the box Vista compter would remain on for hours if I let it promting me to routinely force shutdown. I am now using a risky approach by modifying that registry entry to kill in half the designated ms which results in a 10 second shutdown.
Rebooting seems faster too as if I've cleaned up a bad program. Its risky because some programs may not be able to write data back in time but in my view, screw that program. Just make sure you've saved any docs you've got open. Who cares about the rest.
Backup your registry. Change the long ms setting to a smaller number. Best to start with first. Hope that helps. PCmag wrote that Microsoft is trying to get users to use the hybrid sleep mode instead of shutting down. I have used it by setting my laptop power options to sleep when I close the lid.
But still, when I want to shut down, shut down now dang it!!!! My opinion is that Vista sucks anyway. This isn't the only problem I've had with it by a long shot. Sure there has been some potentially cool advances and tools for master users.
But Microsoft doesn't seem to get that the important thing is the user experience, not their vision of how you should interact with your own comptuter. So I'm moving to linux. I've built a kubuntu 8 beta with kde desktop server machine and I really like it. I have full control and can change what I want.
