I have a system that will not shutdown, so I ctrl/alt/del and found that if I end a process called regedit.exe and the system would shut down fine, but looking on other computers there is no regedit.exe in task manager. I have run spybot, adaware and have done a full system scan with a antivirus software and all looks good.
It's plausible that regedit was somehow accidentally scheduled to run on each startup, but it's difficult to believe it was accidentally set to run minimized. Run an online AV, or try your AV in Safe Mode or schedule a bootscan. The first thing a virus does is to disable your AV, though it should allow it to appear to be working so you won't catch on.
Try one of these free online virus scans:
This one has a choice of a Quick or a Complete check. Use the complete check.
