System Event Notification
shemaya:
Hi shane,
when shutting down my laptop the system event notification service takes a long time to shut down. I am running on Windows 7. I . I have run the windows repair program but it has not solved the problem. Can you help.
Regards
John
Shane:
It might be taking a while because it is waiting on other service to stop first. I would think the event notification service would be the last to stop so that way anything shutting down can still report to the event log.
Does the event log so anything at the time you are shutting down to see if it pinpoints to anything?

No. The only message on the screen is :"Please wait for the system event notification service". It takes about 10 minutes to shut down.

Try this with care
RDP into the machine as any admin user, open task manager, go to services tab, find SENS and right click on it then choose "go to process" and end the process.
How to go to the RDP link is here

Hi, Shane, I found that this problem is now common and there is no readymade fix, found for this problem.Please read this and then approve and i would request the thread owner to use this after nod from Shane
After trying the above solution, if not cleared pl try This. This is a registry fix, and so it is safe to handle by exporting this key and then make change as required. Otherwise, your computer may not boot, so, bear in mind that this fix is registry and i would like Shane, sir, to approve and also how to export registry keys.
pl shane.
Check the value of (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management) ClearPageFile at Shutdown
Value is 0 – so did not make any changes here.if any, change to 0 hexadecimal
2. Tale backup and changed the value of the below registry key:
HKLM >> system >> current control set001>> select control >> WaitToKillServiceTimeout >> Change the value from 5000 to 500.(my system value shows 12000 and hence 1200 may terminate service time out to fix this issue.
