Shotdown/restard having to be pressed twice.

[taltamir]

I recently reformatted and now I have to tell the computer to shutdown or restart twice for it to do it. There is no noticeable action the first time around...

Now this is ALWAYS the case, sometimes it works the first time (rarely). The odd thing is that I barely have anything installed so there is little that could have done that...

If this is completely unheard of for nlite, then let me know and i will try reinstalling again, maybe it was a fluke and not a problem with nlite. If someone knows of it, a fix is welcome...

Any idea what could have done it or how to fix this? I would rather not reformat, and I installed a bunch of stuff since...

Probably a service or program that is not stopping. Check your task manager.

Maybe some task shuts down very long and u have the time to press the button twice? (As Ponch said)

[taltamir]

Its something that terminates when I tell windows to shut down, but abords the shutdown process. I can tell it aborts the shutdown process because nothing else shuts down, and I can run new programs. (which you cannot do while windows is shutting down). I also tried waiting ALOT of time and it didnt help...

It always works the second time I tell windows to shutdown (i dont press the physical button, i use the shutdown option in the start menu).
