Vista/Server 2008 Not Shutting Down

Posted April 27th, 2009 by Eric Webb

This is mostly for my purposes…

If you’re having trouble with Vista/Server 2008 not shutting down, try running:

fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\

and then restarting your computer.  This resets the NTFS transaction logs on your C: drive which apparently can become corrupted.  As a bonus, I think it sped up start-up as well…
