1412047 2015-11-27 08:04:00 With previous versions of Windows I was usually confident that when I clicked 'Shut Down' and then the screen went blank, the operating system had finished its work Now with Windows 10 I click to shut down, the screen goes blank, but the led on the front of the box flashes for about 30 seconds before I feel confident enough to turn the power switch off. Is Microsoft trying to reprogram me! What secret work is the PC doing after the screen blanks? coldot (6847)
1412048 2015-11-27 09:05:00 Thats usually caused by windows installing something in the background. It can also also be a program, service or something in the system not shutting down fast enough, and windows has to keep working till it finally decides to shut down.

Have also seen hibernation / Fast startup hold the shutdown time. When Windows turns off, its not really shut down fully (Its called hybrid shutdown.) unless the mains power is turned off.
