PC Takes Abnormally Long To Restart

[Shaan5]

Restarting the PC Takes like 45 Seconds even though booting up takes like 5 seconds and shutting it down takes no time at all

As far as I can tell, the PC Doesn't even shut down properly when I restart, It stays on, all the fans spin and everything, I have Windows 8.1 On An SSD BTW

Help!

Post your complete and detailed build.

Have you got more than one OS on your PC?

From my experience... it's usually because of a bad, corrupted or outdated driver. You'll have to figure out if you any of your drivers are bad or not shutting down properly... However, I can offer you a quick fix.

Check out a program called Ultimate Windows Tweaker... then under System Performance you can adjust sliders that controls Windows Shutdown Wait Timers...

How do I tell which Driver is causing it?
How do I even Uninstall A Driver

How do I even Uninstall A Driver

The quickest and easiest way is to go to Device Manager and seeing if you have any yellow icons. The next way is to just use logic. What drivers have you installed? Webcam? Headset? Printer? Mouse/Keyboard? and checking to see if any of those are causing problems. Is there any hardware that seems slow or unresponsive? Anything program that takes extra long to close?

I GOT IT!
It's my USB WiFi Dongle, When I unplug that, it restarts in a few seconds flat, the only issue is that I need the dongle to use the Internet
I get No Yellow icons in Task Manager

Anyone know why the USB Doesn't let my PC Restart properly, any fix for it

Look in bios at your boot priority order. If usb is on it then remove it.

It's not
Any Other Ideas?

Then I doubt your wifi dongle would've caused the problem.

Then Why does unplugging the dongle fix the problem?
I have no idea, maybe it was something else

Try plugging it into a different port. Use a 2.0 port (black). Or if it already is, try a 3.0 port.
