Ultra slow SSD shutdown

On startup everything is fine. Nice & fast.
On general usage, everything is fine.

On shutdown - it can take 5 minutes or so. Hit the shut down option & it goes through the motions & then says "shutting down" .... for about 5 minutes.

I tried it once after just booting it & then shutting it down - didn't have the problem though.

SSD is a Samsung 830 250GB. Was only bought a few weeks ago.

  • Startup or shutdown delays are often logged in the Performance Diagnostics log

    What OS? Some have native support for SSDs and others may need to be tweaked.
  • Have you tried running Samsung SSD Magician ?

    No. What does/will this do?



    Just to note: Everything was perfectly ok for the first couple weeks or so.

  • I had the same problem but it turned out to be the Kaspersky anti virus I have installed. I now pause the AV and shutdown only takes six seconds.

    Have you tried reinstalling your anti virus. Personally I would find one that works there are plenty out there some are free others will have a long free trial.

    I don't know if this will make a difference, but i have VMware Player & i started noticing it after running that & then shutting down. However i tried shutting down after i hadn't run VMware player & it still did it. If i just start up & shut down immediately it doesn't do it.
