My windows operating system is not working properly. It's taking too much time to start. Sometime, after starting, internet connection isn't being connected. After restarting PC it connects. Sometimes, after starting PC, a message shows that the windows wasn't shut down properly. Then some options come i.e. "Start windows normally" and so on. After pressing 'Enter' it starts. Why all these occurring?
Please give me the solution.

As suggested, start with updated scans and avoid running more than one real-time antivirus at once. As warned, an AV alone can miss things — add an on-demand antimalware scan. Back up important files before making changes.

  • Run a clean boot to isolate startup services and programs: open msconfig, hide Microsoft services, disable the rest, disable startup items, then reboot. Re-enable in small groups to find the culprit. For a deeper view of auto-starting components use Autoruns.
  • Check system integrity and disk health: from an elevated prompt run sfc /scannow. Schedule chkdsk /f for the next boot to repair file-system errors. Check the drive's SMART health if available.
  • Inspect Event Viewer (System/Application logs) for errors during boot or shutdown — note the Event IDs and timestamps (for example unexpected-shutdown events) and collect those entries if asking for more help.
  • Scan for malware in Safe Mode or with networking disabled using a reputable on-demand antimalware tool. Remove any duplicate real-time security products first.
  • Test RAM if crashes or random shutdowns continue (bad RAM can slow boots and cause improper-shutdown messages).

For the removable-drive "device is in use" problem: close any apps and Explorer windows first. If that fails, run Process Explorer as administrator, press Ctrl+F, search the drive letter, then close the handle or stop the owning process (closing handles can destabilize programs, so prefer to close the program first). To reduce caching-related delays change the drive policy in Device Manager to "Quick removal."

If problems persist, capture the Event Viewer entries, a screenshot of startup items (msconfig/Autoruns), and the sfc /scannow / chkdsk results before asking for further help — those details make diagnosis practical. A repair install or clean reinstall is only a last resort.

As my PC is taking too much time for getting started, it has now also taking a long time to shut down as well. It’s quite annoying to watch “windows is shutting down” for a long time. Whats the problem with my PC? Any help will be useful for me.

And I’m having a problem with my pen drive too. It is, sometimes when I try to bring out my Pen drive manually (by clicking on the icon and then by clicking on “eject the device”), it says that this device cann’t be removed, it is using by the system… etc.
So, I’m wondering why this is occurring? Any solution? Thanks in advance.

N.B. I use Windows-7 as Operating System, Mozilla Firefox as browser and Panda Cloud Antivirus as antivirus.

Have you update and scan for virus, malware or spyware. Try other anti virus software like Avira or AVG. Only install 1 anti virus in your computer.

What antimalware software do you have? Panda is antivirus only, it's not antimalware. If you don't have antimalware then you are most likely infected and that may well be causing your problems!
