Please Wait for the System Event Notification Notification Service

[camejuanm]

So, I've been having problem with shutting down, restarting, booting my PC. So I try turning on verbosestatus messageso I can see where is the problem and when I restart my PC (because clicking Shut Down does not do anything and it takes forever to shut down anyway when I click the power button), I will be greeted with 'Please Wait for the System Event Notification Notification Service' and it takes forever. Can anyone help me?

There is a 36 minute long video of this error... I have better ways to waste my time than watch an error screen that long, like trying to figure out this question...

Have you tried a clean boot? It may seem counter productive but often the things slowing you down at shutdown are the same things listed in start up list - its just how windows 10 shutdown works if you have fast startup on

Follow this and make sure NOT to disable all Microsoft services or win 10 won't boot right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

If that fixes it, its possible one of your startup programs was the cause, slowly re add them to startup (via task manager) and find the cause.

Another obvious fix is shut off fast startup - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html
What that does is actually turns PC off when you shut it down. With fast startup on, Win 10 puts PC into a hibernated state when you shut it down, saving a copy of all drivers + a copy of the kernel into memory so when you restart it it the next time, it already has half the files loaded and should be faster. Older drivers not written for win 10 power modes can have problems with Fast startup being on.

My computer is freshly reinstalled about a month ago. And i never turned on fast startup.
BTW, I was dealing with high disk usage few hours ago. I tried modifying the Virtual memory. Then, i tried restart the PC a few times, shutdown and turn on and shut down again, everything is running just fine. And then I turned on my PC, then I go to Windows update, I saw there's few updates ready to install. The i click install now and it's stuck at zero. So I restart my PC and this happened

So you restarted during an update? have you tried to run windows update again as I suspect its what is causing the error.

You can try this - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

but the simplest move might be to do a reset and keep files/settings. It will mean you ahve to reinstall programs again but it will save your user info and any contents of the library folders (library folders are documents, pictures, music, and possibly downloads.

restarting while windows 10 is running any update is a great way to break things.

So my dad called a technician to see and it turns out that my power supply is not powerful enough. So actually "Pleasewait for SENS" is not the only problem. I have tons of problem with shutdown, restart, sleep and hibernate, its been a very hard time for the PC to wake up from sleep, sometimes shutdown button would not work, even if it works, it will probably go blue screen, restarting takes hours (yes literally) and booting up takes forever too. So the guy solves the problem by changing the power source for my monitor(it's an old CRT monitor and draws a lot of power) . The monitor was pulling power from PSU, and and it's just a 450W power supply from the brand I don't know. Now the monitor is taking power from the wall. My PC still cannot wake up from sleep sometimes but everything else just works. Anyway thank you for wasting ur time helping me, I appreciate it.
