    Hello there!
    I get an annoying message everytime i shut down? I´ve googled the issue but didnt found any good advice, besides it´s taking some longer time to shut down.

    I´ve noticed this issue before but didn´t care cause it wasnt continual.
    Now it comes up everytime i shut down.

    Could anyone help please? It´s annoying.

    Thanks.

    Well, try it, and let us know. The KB article doesn't sound like this is meant for your specific problem. It specifically mentions a six-second delay. Is this what you see?
