Your latest scan was posted twice. Furthermore, if you download OTListit to your desktop and run it there, it will produce two (2) open files.

msconfig.exe is the System Configuration Utility and you can use it for
troubleshooting startups. Which can also affect shutdown.

You can try disabling the first half of the startup entries, reboot and then
shutdown and see if you still have the problem.

After rebooting, if you do not have whatever problem, you have narrowed it
down to that half of the disabled items. Depending on how many startups you
have, you can re-enable some and reboot. Or re-enable one item at a time
and reboot. Keep doing one or the other until you have found the culprit.

After rebooting, if you still have whatever problem after disabling the
first half of the startup items, re-enable that half and disable the second
half and reboot. Depending on how many startups you have, you can re-enable
some and reboot. Or re-enable one item at a time and reboot. Keep doing
one or the other until you have found the culprit.
