Can’t Shut Down PC

Windows Logo is in the lower left corner, right click, options, etc.
Mine turns blue lately and then I’m forced to use Crtl+Alt+Del to sign out, then sign back in, then boot down.

Glad this works but I’m concerned as this has never happened before.
Thought it was the Wireless Trackball so I installed a new battery. No change.

Any ideas what causes this?
Latest Windows 10 since I’m online all the time.

Some sort of background update or process happening ? Try a safe boot then try shut down, check running processes etc

Ah..thanks.
It’s a random issue.
Only randoms I like are random read benchmarks on SSDs, and random waveforms using Sample & Hold.

Haven’t you heard? It’s the new Anti-domestic terrorism windows update.
If you visit a conservative news site, have an impure conservative thought or even the slightest whim of a conspiracy theory then windows will automatically slow you computer down and bog it with random glitches until you redeem yourself by posting an anti conservative rant on social media. Don’t wait, you can post you rant here and I’m sure that will count.

Pretty scary how we are losing more and more control of our own computers. Sure wish we had Scope Linux.

It’s going to be a background process or driver that hangs, or that also happens when something just needs to be unmounted.

It’s why I worship wealthy white Liberals on FakeBook and Twitter. :lol:

Joe Biden is such an amazing speaker and well suited for leading America.
So glad we’re back to making Earth great again.... :D :lol: 8)

Biden should provide stimulus fir little kids to learn music gear. Once hooked on gear kids won’t have money left for drugs.

Couldn’t agree more, but the investors come first.

14 billion spent on this election means the Executive Orders and first “Stimulus” must pay back investors, then son/daughter/non binary offspring of “Stimulus” might actually be designed for the citizenry.

They’re calling the shots now.

When you purchase Liberals you usually get an ROI, but billions gets you the White House and the DNC.
