Slow shutdown on Windows Devices, Fixed by Re-installing Windows
Devices for the last few months (started around 3-4 months ago) have become slower to shutdown. These devices have fast boot disabled. The slowness appears on the "Restarting..." screen after the use...
I am sorry to bother you, but for many people reinstalling Windows ruins all installed software, and requires from three to seven days time to re-install everything. Even if data is backed up regularly, for regular people "Re installing Windows" is a like a major disaster, like being stuck on an island, like missing the last flight out of Kiew or Tel Aviv, like a fire or a flood.
Even if one trusts Microsoft OneDrive, in an actual event of an OS reinstall, reconnecting and downloading data back to where you want it is a problem I do not wish on anyone..
I am still waiting for Microsoft seeing the error of their ways. I would require that all installed software on a Windows computer should have the following system: Whatever software you use, it should make a second copy of all data it ever writes to the Windows Registry, and it should have an either manual or automated plan of restoring that data to the Windows Registry. Likewise, a copy of all system details, like permissions, accounts, etc should be made and be constantly updated, just so that the user can restore all these items quickly. Being back in business in two hours, instead of in a week, that to me would be a worthy goal for MSFT to present to its paying customers. Whatever they have now, is in my opinion astonishingly inadequate. Restore points do not do what I would like them to do, and whatever backup & restore system really big businesses have, is not affordable for the homeuser.
