I would never "Abruptly" shut off a computer in the way
you describe.

99% of the time this can cause data corruption or registry
errors. At some point you will need to do a Chkdsk C: /R
so you can reset the "Volume Dirty" flag that is probably
set.

Your best option is to use System Restore and go back a
couple of days to when the problem did not occur. The
list of causes for this type of problem is pretty long and
complex to resolve manually. (Drivers, Program installs &
updates, etc..)
