Windows 7 freezing/stalling at shut down

having this problem with windows 7 where when i go to shut down, windows shows the shutting down screen but then shows the message "configuring windows, please do not shut off your computer" and it just sits at that screen forever. i have to shut down manually to turn off the computer.

doing a quick google search seems like it is a common problem, but not sure how to fix it. i was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction. any help is greatly appreciated.

Did this start with the last batch of updates or have you had previous problems?
If it's the last updates do a restore and then do the updates manually one at a time until you find the culprit.

Turn off Windows Updates and see if the problem goes away. Control Panel > Windows Update.
