elJay Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I have been using SD and sometimes upon exiting Shadow Mode with a reboot the system will hang on the "Windows is shutting down" prompt. The HDD light just keeps going and going but even after a 10 min wait the damn thing will still say "Windows is shutting down" with no progress. When this happens a hard reset is needed. I wont ask what may be the cause of this as I know it could be many things or even a combination of things. I will try in the future to narrow it down to find the culprit(s). What I would like to ask however is a 2 part question:>> Does anyone know if SD leaves files "orphaned" on your HDD in the scenario I described above? If so where would they be located so I can delete them? Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Open the registry and locate the key{ \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management}, then change the value of ClearPageFile at Shutdown to a 0 IF the value is 1. If the value is 1, it will take longer for your computer to shutdown. Also do this : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Highlight the value WaitToKillServiceTimeoutChange this value to 1000.If this doesn't help you can always change them back.This can also be caused by a service that is not shutting down properly.I am running SD on Windows 7 and 8.1 both x64 and have not experienced any problems at all.
