    Try doing it as another user. It may be a bad profile. Also, if you want to so that command, do shutdown -s -f -t 00 (s=shutdown, f=force so you don't have to end task on anything, t 00=do it immediately.

  • please, download and run "process explorer" (www.sysinternals.com) and see all processes running on your computer. right click on column header and check "command line" to see from where the processes are started. then use "save as" to save a txt file with all informations showed, open it, copy and paste that here and so we can see if the problem is a running process.
