This issue may happen when Windows takes much time to end the Windows programs which run in the background. Do one thing, take a backup of the registry and do the following changes. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control and you will see a registry key named WaitToKillAppTimeout in the right pane. Double click on it. Edit string window will be opened. In the Value Data: give a new value "1000" and press OK.

Try the above method and tell me what happens, if this does not work, go to safe mode and then try to shut down from there and tell me what happens.

I tested it on Vista and 7, it worked well, not sure about XP. Its been a long time i used it, do try and let me know mate, we can fix the issue, not to worry.

Not an issue at all! Just shut down the computer, reboot in Safe Mode and go to device manager and enable it.

I need help with youtube guys, for some reasons youtube isn't loading on my PC but loads perfectly fine on my mobile and lappy. I'm using chrome with no add-blockers or pop-up blockers but with only Avast security extension, there aren't any useless extensions too. Please help.

 

[zeustrojanstark]

Open command prompt and type in ping YouTube
You should see something like this:

If there is any loss, then try using it in safe mode and check if it is working fine. Try Incognito Chrome and IE without add ons and check.
If still the issue persists, try forcing Google DNS or global DNS in your network connections and check.
