The APM (Advanced Power Management) in some motherboard system BIOS is not fully compatible with Win XP (mostly AMI BIOS), so it cannot shut down automatically. Choosing to shut down turns to restart the system. In this case, you can only shut down manually (press and hold the power switch for 4 seconds and then release it. If it is less than 4 seconds, it will be invalid). The fundamental solution to the problem is to upgrade the motherboard's system BIOS to a new version.
You can manually modify the registry
In the program---Run---enter regedit, enter the registry,
Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Pane\Desktop key, change WaitToKillTimeout to 1000-4000, that is, only wait for 1 second to close the program. Change HungAppTimeout to 200-500, which means that the program will only wait up to 0.5 seconds when an error occurs, and set AutoEndTasks to 1.
In addition, you can also change the WaitT0killserviceTimeout of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\Control\ to 1000-4000
You can speed up the shutdown
Speed ??up the Windows XP system of shutdown.
1. Shutdown using the Shutdown.exe program
Shutdown.exe is a shutdown program, which is saved in the C:\Windows\system32 folder (C drive is the system disk) . Create a shortcut for Shutdown.exe on the desktop, right-click and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu. Add "-s -t10" after the path of the "Target" text box in the properties dialog box. "-s" means shutting down the computer. Of course, it can be changed to "-r" to restart. Computer; "-t" means setting the countdown time, and the number "10" behind it means 10 seconds. Readers can make changes according to their own needs, which can greatly reduce the shutdown waiting time.
Another parameter is "-c prompt message displayed during shutdown", that is, when you want to shut down, the system will pop up a message showing your own settings. Note that the shutdown prompt message cannot exceed 127 characters.
2. Use the "Task Manager"
In Windows XP, press "Ctrl+Alt+Del" to bring up the "Task Manager" window, activate the menu "Shutdown" and press Hold down the "Ctrl" key and select the "Shutdown" or "Restart" menu item. At this time, you will find that the shutdown speed of Windows
Describe various functions: Complete all disk write operations? Clear the disk cache
Execute the window closing program to close all currently running programs
Remove all protected mode The driver converts
to real mode.
Disabling quick shutdown
The main reasons for Windows system shutdown failure
Are: The sound file is damaged when you choose to exit Windows
; Improper configuration or damaged hardware; BIOS configuration settings
Incompatible; "Advanced power management" or "
Advanced configuration and power interface" settings in the BIOS Inappropriate; no
assigns an IRQ to the video card in real mode; a certain
program or TSR program may not have closed properly; loaded
An incompatible, corrupted or conflicting device driver
program, etc.
Trouble analysis and solution
1. The sound file is damaged when exiting Windows
First of all, you can determine whether the "Exit Windows" sound file is
< p>Is it damaged? Open the "Control Panel", open "Sound", and cancel the "Exit Windows" sound. If
Windows shuts down normally, the problem is caused by exiting the sound file
To resolve this problem, you can restore the sound from a backup
file or reinstall the program that provides sound files
, or define "Exit Windows" to be silent
.
2. Quick shutdown is abnormal
Quick shutdown is a new function in Windows98, which can
greatly reduce the shutdown time, but this function is inconsistent with some hardware
Incompatible and may cause the computer to stop responding. You can
run "Msconfig" and disable
fast shutdown in the "Advanced" options. If the computer can shut down normally, it means that
hardware device incompatibility exists.
3. Pay attention to "Advanced Power Management"
In addition, the "Advanced Power Management (APM)" function on the computer
can also cause shutdown or black screen problems. . To determine
whether APM will cause shutdown problems, you can open "Device
Manager" and open "System Devices". Uncheck "Enable power management" in "Advanced power management". If
the computer shuts down normally, the problem may be caused by
APM.
4. Start-up and shutdown failure
Everyone often encounters the message "You can safely shut down the computer" when Windows is just started.
Or
Shut down immediately when starting or restart when shutting down and other faults.
The cause of this type of failure is generally caused by
Wininit.exe or Vmm32.vxd file damage
. The solution is to retrieve these two files from the WINDOWS installation program
zip package again. Place it in the
Windows\system subdirectory, rename
Vmm32.vxd to Vmm32.XXX for backup, and then open the "System
Tools". Select "System Information" > "Tools" > "System File Checker", select "Extract a file from the installation disk", enter "Wininit.exe" or < /p>
"Vmm32.vxd". Repeat this step to replace the file
Wininit.exe or Vmm32.vxd.
4. There is a problem with Config.sys or Autoexec.bat
Extract a file from the installation disk
Also, you can check the Config.sys file or
p>
Is there any conflict in the Autoexec.bat file? Use a text
editor to check the contents of these two files to see if there are any redundant commands. You can also use "rem" to prohibit certain words
< p>The execution of sentences is gradually eliminated until conflicting commands are found.
5. Check the CMOS settings
Incorrect CMOS settings can also cause computer shutdown problems
You can enter the CMOS settings page when the computer starts. < /p>
Focus on checking whether the CPU FSB, power management, virus detection,
IRQ interrupt shutdown, disk boot sequence and other option settings are correct
. For specific setting methods, you can refer to your motherboard manual, which has very detailed setting instructions. If you really don't understand the settings, I suggest you directly Just use the manufacturer
factory default settings.
6. Some programs prevent you from closing calculations
Please make sure first whether the program you are running has been completely closed
(such as BT) can open the process The manager checks to see if there are any
suspicious processes. If so, please end the process first
Breaking through the difficulties - full exposure to Win XP shutdown failures
For Windows XP, due to its use of the NT kernel with higher security performance, The system runs fairly stably. Except for the slow shutdown speed, shutdown failures rarely occur under normal circumstances. However, you should also pay attention to the following fault phenomena.
■ Let it shut down but then restart
This fault is the most common shutdown fault in the Windows XP operating system. The reasons for this failure may be as follows:
1. System settings are causing chaos
By default, Windows XP will automatically restart when an error occurs in the system, so that when the user shuts down the computer, if an error occurs in the system during the shutdown process, the computer will be restarted. Turning this feature off can often resolve automatic restart failures.
Figure 1 Setting startup and fault repair
Right-click "My Computer" on the desktop, select "Properties" in the pop-up right-click menu, and the "System Properties" window will pop up. Click the "Advanced" tab, click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" column, and the "Startup and Recovery" window will pop up, as shown in Figure 1. In the "System Failure" column, remove the check mark in front of the "Automatic Restart" option and click the "OK" button.
2. Advanced power management is causing trouble
As we all know, shutdown is closely related to power management. The cause of shutdown failure is likely to be caused by poor power management support for the system.
Click "Start → Settings → Control Panel → Performance and Maintenance → Power Options", and in the pop-up window, enable or cancel "Advanced Power Support" as needed. If you are using "Advanced Power Support" to enable "Advanced Power Support" when the fault occurs, try to cancel it. If you are using "Advanced Power Support" to cancel "Advanced Power Support" when the fault occurs, try to enable it. The fault will often be solved.
3． Don’t worry about USB devices
Nowadays, USB devices are very popular, including USB flash drives, mice, keyboards, modems, etc., you can find them all. As everyone knows, these USB devices are often the culprit causing shutdown failures. When a shutdown turns into a restart failure, if there is a USB device connected to your computer, please unplug it first and try again. If you are sure that the USB device is faulty, it is best to replace the device or connect it to An external USB Hub. Connect the USB device to the USB Hub instead of directly connecting it to the USB interface of the motherboard.
■ Turn off the phone and give you a big blue face
1. Windows XP has a bug
Windows XP has a shutdown bug. If your computer often displays a blue screen when shutting down, and the fault is intermittent, press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" If the keys are unresponsive, it means your system has not been patched. Please download the SP1 patch package and patch it, and it will usually be fine.
2. There is a problem with the driver of the innovative sound card
If you are using an innovative sound card and a blue screen appears during the shutdown process with the error code "0X0A", then please enter the device manager, delete the sound card, and refresh , manually install the latest digitally signed driver.
3． Logitech mouse and keyboard are not perfect
If you are using a Logitech network keyboard and have installed the Key Commander software to drive the corresponding network functions of the keyboard, it may cause a shutdown that turns into a restart failure. If the driver of your Logitech mouse is MouseWare8.6, it will cause a blue screen failure during shutdown. You can only solve the problem by uninstalling the driver.
■ Shut down but cannot automatically cut off the power supply
During the shutdown process, everything is normal, but it stops at "You can safely shut down the computer" but the power supply cannot be automatically cut off and needs to be done manually. Press the "Power" button on the main chassis panel to shut down.
The reasons for this failure generally include the following aspects:
1. Power support is not turned on
Click "Start → Settings → Control Panel → Power Options → High-Energy Power Management" and check "Enable advanced power management support".
2. Incorrect BIOS settings
It may be that the power management options in the BIOS have been modified by mistake. If you are familiar with BIOS settings, please enter the BIOS and try to modify the power management options in the BIOS. If you are not familiar with the BIOS, simply select the "Load default setup" option to restore the BIOS to the factory default settings.
3． Office XP also causes trouble
Ctfmon.exe in Office XP has always been a controversial issue. Ctfmon.exe is Microsoft's text service file. As long as the user installs Office XP and installs the "Optional User Input Method Component", this file will automatically call it to provide text for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard and other user input technologies Input support. Even if we don't start Office XP, Ctfmon.exe is still running in the background. It often causes shutdown failures. You might as well try to uninstall it.
Figure 2 Select the update option
Click "Start→Settings→Control Panel→Add/Remove Programs", select "Microsoft Office XP Professionain With FrontPage" among the currently installed programs, click the "Change" button, and in the "Maintenance Mode Options" dialog Select the "Add or Remove Features" option in the box, click Next, the "Select installation options for all Office applications and tools" dialog box will pop up, expand the "Office *** Shared Features" option, and select "Chinese Optional User Input Method" " option, select "Don't install" in the pop-up menu, as shown in Figure 2, click the "Update" button.
4. APM/NT Legacy Node is not turned on
Under normal circumstances, if the APM/NT Legacy Node is not turned on, it may shut down but cannot automatically cut off the power. Enter the device manager and click "View → Show Hidden Devices" in the menu bar to display all hidden devices in the system. Check the box to see if there is an APM/NT Legacy Node option. If your computer supports this feature, you will have this option. Double-click it and click the "Enable Device" button in the pop-up properties dialog box.
