Windows 8 which I installed recently (from factory recovery image) suddenly now takes too long to shutdown.
Around 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
I tried disabling and enabling "Fast Startup" but that didn't affect the shutdown time.
Also reduced the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" from 5000ms to 3000ms but also there is no effect.
Also the "ClearPageFileAtShutdown" is set to 0.
I even tried hibernating instead of shutdown and it took 2:20 minutes too !
Also disabled hibernate with "powercfg -h off" and tried to shutdown , and took 2:20 minutes too! :confused:
Thanks in advance .

First, open the task manager and look in the Startup tab to see if you have any unnecessary processes running at startup and disable them.
Second, apply the registry tweaks included in the attachment by double click on it.
