I really have no idea, but I have been hearing of this more and more lately.
There is an option to delay shutdown at the command line level and I assume
also in the Registry. Maybe someone could look into a newer virus that is
causing this problem.
Also, try to open Task Manager on the next shutdown and sort the columns by
clicking on CPU usage until the most active are on top. Then shutdown as
usual and see if there is a program that could be causing the hang.
Sorry, I don't really know anything else to recommend.
