Turning Off Computer
For some reason it's taking my laptop a good 3-4 minutes to turn off. Is there anyway to speed this up? In addition, even though it says it will install automatic updates when it turns off, its not doing it and I'm having to do it manually. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.
