A brand-new tablet taking ten minutes to shut down is not normal. Common root causes are drivers or services that hang during the shutdown sequence, pending OS update/configuration steps, storage errors (bad sectors or a slow/aging flash module), or power-management/hibernation interactions. As noted, more system details narrow the diagnosis; ’s point about recent large installs and ’s observation about background processes are both relevant starting hypotheses.

Useful diagnostics that capture the cause quickly: check the system event log for shutdown-related entries (look for Event IDs 1074, 6006 and 6008 under Windows Logs -> System), test whether Safe Mode shuts down quickly (isolates third-party software), and generate a power/driver report to find components blocking power transitions. The following commands produce helpful files for analysis:

powercfg /energy
powercfg /requests
msinfo32 /report C:\sysinfo.txt

System-integrity and disk checks often reveal issues that slow shutdowns (corrupt system files or filesystem repairs at shutdown):

sfc /scannow
chkdsk C: /f

(chkdsk may schedule on next reboot if the volume is in use.)

If shutdown is being delayed by updates or hybrid/fast-boot behavior, verify Windows Update history and try disabling Fast Startup on systems that support it. Update chipset, storage and power-management drivers and, if available, the tablet firmware/UEFI. Temporarily removing recently installed large applications or disabling third-party security software can confirm whether those components are responsible. Before any firmware flashes or destructive steps, back up data and note that vendor support may require attaching event-log and system-report files (the msinfo32 report above is especially useful).

Without giving any info other than it's a tablet, how do you expect us to be able to help you out? We are not mind readers or miracle workers you know!

Hmm.i think you might have installed any new software which is very big in will happen due to some conflict which shutting down the system. :-)

I think you have a lot of background soft running - OS needs to shut them down before the system shuts down, press Ctrl+Alt+Del then click on task manger to view running processors.

What OS do you use? eg XP, Vista, Win7?
