Some applications are known to have shutdown issues. One way to
verify it's an active/running service is to try Safe Mode. Without any
3rd-party drivers or applications you'd be using a "Minimalist Config".
If Shutdown work as expected from Safe Mode then you'll know it's
something running under Normal mode.
There is just no way to direct you to a specific application as the
cause of the stalled shutdown. Another approach would be to create
a new profile/User Account. If that new account shuts down correctly
then you've isolated the issue to something in the day-to-day profile's
Registry Hive.
