In newer versions of Windows (8,8.1 and 10) Microsoft has introduced the new method of Shutdown, called Hybrid Shutdown. This feature is enabled by default, and it decreases the PC’s shutdown time. Hybrid Shutdown decreases the shutdown time by hibernating the kernel session, instead of completely closing it. When the PC is powered on again, the kernel session is revoked from the hibernation, so it decreases the booting time as well.

But besides increasing the performance, Hybrid Shutdown feature may also cause some errors or even prevent Windows from shutting down completely. When this happens, many computers freeze or hang when you try to shut them down, and reason for this is that Hybrid Shutdown is enabled by default. So, logically, to solve this issue, you’ll need to disable this feature.

1. Disable Hybrid Shutdown Manually
Follow these steps to manually disable the Hybrid Shutdown feature:

Go to Search, type power options and click on Power Options from search results
On the left side of the window click on Choose what the power button does
If needed, click on Change settings that are currently unavailable, under Define power buttons and turn on password protection
From the enabled options under Shutdown settings section, uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) checkbox to disable Hybrid Shutdown.
Click Save changes button to save the modified settings.
Close Power Options window when done.

2. Run Performance Troubleshooter and see if it helps you. Type the following in Run box and hit Enter to open it.
