If this is an HP Computer: just before shutdown, do a Ctrl-Shift-Esc,
go to the Applications page, and see if Updates from HP Agent is
running. If so, click end task, then try to shutdown. If the computer
does not hang at the shutdown screen, y'all found the problem.
Worked for a couple of folks that I know............hth
