Speed up your Windows Vista Shutdown Process

by Milo on March 5th, 2008

You can try speeding up Windows Vista Shutdown process whenever the system is waiting to kill a process. The steps are as follows:

1. Open regedit.exe
2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
3. Change the value of “WaitToKillServiceTimeout” to 1000

But as a reminder, do this at your own risk as sometimes the system really needs to wait for a process to finish. Probably bringing it down to just 10000 would be safe enough
