Windows 8 shutdown is slow

So I googled it and couldn't find an answer except on that forum link above. I disabled HIPS and real-time protection and it resolved the issue. But, that's rendering Nod32 practically useless.

I just renewed my license for 2 years no knowing that Nod32 was the culprit. Hopefully there is something else I can try? I have already updated all of my drivers; which was another suggestion on that post.

Let's try to narrow it a little bit more, enable real-time protection and keep HIPS disabled, then try to shut down, if you experience a slow shutdown, enable HIPS then restart the computer, and once you're logged in again, disable real-time protection and try to shutdown, and post back your findings.

This and what Marcos suggested in the Wilders thread you linked to isn't intended as a permanent solution, but rather an attempt to diagnose the issue. Also, I did try disabling one, and then the other, independently. If either one is running it slows the shutdown process significantly. Only when I disable both does the shutdown issue resolve itself. After replying this this morning I updated to Windows 8. And, it seems that it did.

This is Windows 8. Can you try just logging out sign out and see if that is slow. Can you try just restarting and see if that is slow. Can you try just shutdown and see if that is slow.
