Are you connected to the internet by a slow connection? If you are trying to do a windows update, try to use a wired connection with a good speed, as otherwise updates can take a very long time.

But previously i didn't had any issue.Because i'm installing updates since last year.This is from several weeks....

Is your problem taking too long to shut down? If that is the case a hard disk failure could be imminet. Have you tried doing a virus to scan for virueses?

You mean to scan the the computer by using Antivirus Software?No but the i'm using MS Security Essentials & it says the computer is on a Safe Mode...Anyway i'll try to do a full system scan......

What is your cpu usage?

c cleaner is use to delete cache and delete unwanted files, but first we need to know what is his cpu usage. You can try that first if you want to

@ jingda

CPU usage is about 8%........

Ok, that means your laptop is running normally except for the shutdown part. Follow this link

I can't help with the main problem, but a good workaround can be to use force shutdown:

shutdown -f -s -t 01

You can type it into any run dialog, into any command line, or you can make a bat file on the desktop.

just use tuneup utility it's free for trial mode and full functional for 15 days , this will solve ur problem,
and check ur windows drive , is there enough free space , windows drive needs minimum 7 gb of free space for working efficiantly,
U just disable all unwanted programs ,
hve u installed service pack1?
