If its not responding you're probably going to need to reboot it.

So it states "shutting down" after you restart it?

Hi,

1.Which update did you installed,please try to uninstall it and test again.

2.You could try this command: shutdown -s -f -t 0  (in priviledge mode).

3.Please check the event viewer,is there any related message?

3. Please try to shutdown services manualy to find which makes the problem.

4. Please try to return to previous restore point.
