Dr.Jones Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 When a user shuts down Windows XP, first the system has to kill all services currently running. Every once in a while the service does not shut down instantly and windows gives it a change to shut down on its own before it kills it. This amount of time that windows waits is stored in the system registry. If you modify this setting, then windows will kill the service earlier. To modify the setting, follow the directions below: 1. Start Regedit. 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control. 3. Click on the "Control" Folder. 4. Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" 5. Right click on it and select Modify. 6. Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200). Taken in its integral form from on of the sites you didn't even tried to go to. :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/245142-req-tweaks-for-faster-windows-xp-shutdown/#findComment-584961320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZRecovery Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) This is a forum to help people, not to demand to get your work done. If I find something, I will post it, but with that attitude, not too many people are gonna help you. Sutdown XP faster 2Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows xp when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. to solve this problem you must disable this useless sound. click start button then go to settings -> control panel -> Sound,Speech and Audio devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds, then under program events and windows menu click on "Exit Windows" sub-menu and highlight it.now from sounds you can select,choose "none" and then click apply and ok. now you can see some improvements when shutting down your system. Source: Windows XP A to Z Open up REGEDIT and go to "HKey_Current_User\Control Panel\Desktop\"and change the for setting "HungAppTimeout" to 1000(5000 is default) and make "WaitToKillAppTimeout" 1000(20000 is default) Source: Neowin.net (Slow Shutdowns) 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).2. Change the data value of the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value in the following registry key to a value of 1: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management If the value does not exist, add the following value: Value Name: ClearPageFileAtShutdown Value Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 Source: Microsoft.com Edited November 24, 2004 by EZRecovery Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/245142-req-tweaks-for-faster-windows-xp-shutdown/#findComment-584980418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxideNOS Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Remove the Clear Page file on shutdown if u really don't need it. I think thats what makes ur shutdown slow. For me i don't care about faster shutdown. I just care about my boot timing. I don't shutdown a lot.

I was gonna suggest this guide to shut down Windows Fast (usefull if the power cord is in a hard to reach area such as behind a desk): 1. Locate computer's power button (usually on the front of the computer). 2. Press and hold for ~4 seconds or until computer screen goes black (computer turns off), then release.
