Windows 8.1 freezing on shutdown

July 9, 2021 . 1 MIN READ

First try System File Checker
Winkey plus ‘X’
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type sfc /scannow then Enter

It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn’t always report them. Run it and see if the fault disappears after re-booting your system.

If that fails, try turning off hibernate, W8 uses it to achieve faster boot times.
Winkey plus X
Choose CMD (admin)
Type powercfg -h off then Enter
