You would have been more comfortable with previous versions of Windows where you shut down and the system shut down in seconds. But you would have noticed that this is not the same case with that of Windows 10. Windows 10 Although original and powerful of its kind, it performs all tasks in great detail and takes about an amount of time. This bothers us as we have to wait for it to turn off completely after closing all system programs. Occurs when the operating system waits a long time for programs running in the background to exit. Let us walk you through the steps on how to speed up the shutdown process in Windows 10.
Currently, Windows 10 takes approximately 5000 milliseconds to terminate a running process. We will need to change the time limit to a lower value to speed up the shutdown process, at the same time keeping all files up to date.
