There could be several answers to this, however, I highly suspect this one.
In shutting down, you computer must first close all running programs, Then, if your computer is loaded with many hundreds of junk files, it must go through them all also.
What is considered junk? It is hundreds and hundreds of files you probably have left on your computer that have built up so large, your computer must go through ALL of them before shutting down so that is what is taking so long.
Junk files are:
1. Temp Files,
2. Internet files,
3. Cookies, etc.
To give you an example. In checking my junk files nightly (and cleaning) just before
shutting down, in just one day of surfing the net, you could have as many as 10 MB – in JUST ONE DAY!. I once found I had 59 MB in just one day. Multiply this by say — 30 days – and you can see why a computer would slow to a crawl to shut down.
The program that I highly recommend to solve this Junk files problem completely (And FREE) is “CCleaner“
I run it every night before shutting down and my now my system shuts down
completely in less than 7 seconds.

The more junk you have on it, the longer it takes to shut down.
