Windows 2008 not shutting down Oracle

When I shutdown my Windows 2008 server that has Oracle 10.2.0.4, it does not shutdown the database like it should.
I have used Oracle Administration Assitant for Windows and I have set the Startup/Shutdown Configuration to "Shutdown instance when service is stopped" and that the Mode is "Shutdown Immediate".
In the oradim.log, I never see a shutdown command when I restart the server. I only see a shutdown command when I manually stop the service.
I've gone into the Registry and I have set ORA_<SID>SHUTDOWNTIMEOUT at 240, but I don't think that it even attempts the shutdown immediate much less waits 4 minutes for it to work.
I'm wondering of this is a bug in Oracle or Windows....

What does the alert log say? Does it look like a clean shutdown? Is it having to perform crash recovery on startup?

Windows server not shutting down

Hi guys,
We have installed and configured correctly a PI 7.0
system on Windows 2003 Standard Edition X64-bit with SQL Server 2005.
We are on SP12. Everything, SLD, RFC connections work properly.
The problem was that 4-5 days after the installation the Windows Server
started restarting automatically in unexpected time during the day
(unexpected shutdown), even when anybody didn't do anything in the
system.
SAP suggested us to upgrade firmware, network card and
memory, which actually solved the problem.
However, the problem that we are facing right now is that the Windows
Server is not shutting down. That is, we are trying to shut down the
operating system, but it never does so.
SAP suggested us that it could be a service
which is defined as restart ever, and to try commands shutdown -s/-r -t 00 -f
from CMD, but no result. The server is trying to shut down or restart unsuccessfully.
It remains in a grey page and is trying to shut down itself.
This is a production system and we go live on 01/01/2008! Do you have
any ideas?
Best Regards,

Windows 7 not shutting down

HP TouchSmart 520, when PC has been on for any length of time (excess of one hour) PC will not shut down. Message "Shutting Down" appears with rotating circle but PC can only be shut down by holding the power button down. Can't find any useful specific info on the Internet. Any ideas please.Thanks.

Hello fuzzycat:
         Welcome to HP's forum. Here is direction Help and Support says to do:
Why won't my computer turn on or off quickly?
If your computer seems to shut down slowly (or not at all) or start up slowly, or if it doesn't enter power-saving modes, it's possible that a program or device driver is interfering with Windows power settings. You can use Performance Information and Tools to try to detect these programs or device drivers.
To check for performance issues
Click to open Performance Information and Tools.
In the left pane, click Advanced tools.
In Advanced Tools, under Performance issues, click any issues that are listed.
Read the information in the dialog box that appears to learn which programs or drivers are causing problems.
If a program or driver prevents your computer from turning on quickly
You can try the following tasks to fix the problem:
Manage the programs that run at startup. Some programs start automatically when you start Windows. Too many of these programs opening at the same time can slow down your computer. To disable these programs from startup and improve performance, use Windows Defender. For more information, see Stop a program from running automatically when Windows starts.
Check with the manufacturer of the program or driver for an update. A newer version of the program might include a resolution to the problem.
If a program or driver prevents your computer from turning off quickly
You can try the following tasks to fix the problem:
Close the program before shutting down. It's possible that the problem occurs only if the program is running. Try closing the program before shutting down Windows, and then see if your computer turns off properly.
Check with the manufacturer of the program or driver for an update. A newer version of the program might include a resolution to the problem.
If these options don't solve the problem, then the program or driver might be incompatible with Windows. If you installed the program or device yourself and you no longer use it, consider removing the device, or uninstalling the program or driver.
        You can also run PC tune up using HP support assistance, Disk Defragmenter found in Accessories under Tools, If you goto my computer Left click on c. drive Select properties . Then click on tool's tab. Then click Check now and place check marks in next window. Restart computer. This takes about 3 hours to complete.
            If all these steps have failed then preceed to do a Microsoft Restore using your Recovery Manger and select a date before it happen. You will be back to normal again. Please click on Kudos if this has resolved your issue. Thank you frrw.

On mac pro when I boot up it tells me windows wa not shut down properly

First I am new to apple. I added windows to my Mac. When I turn it on it tells me windows was improperly shut down, may lose data

How did you add WIndows: Boot Camp, Parallels, Fusion, something else?
Were you running Windows when you shut down?
Did you in fact shut down Windows properly before you shut down the computer or the virtual machine?

After using PC Suite, windows won't shut down

Hi,
I'm using bootcamp on a Mac(laptop),
running Win XP, SP2
PC Suite 6.84.10.3
Nokia 6288
I connect to the internet via bluetooth and everything works fine until I diconnect. Most of the time when I click disconnect(and every time when I ttake the phone away till the signal disconnects), it won't connect again. Infact, it actually no longer searches for devices, will not detect the phone any more when I go through the "Get Connected" process.
What's really annoying me is that windows will not shut down. It hangs on a blank blue screen after shutting everything else down. It also will no longer sleep or hibernate.
I feel that its running something heavy in the backgrownd as my laptop gets quite hot after a while.
This is a major problem not as its so damn annoying, but cousing Windows to crash constantly and hard rebooting windows couses damage and ongoing problems with windows. We know this operating system has plenty enough problems as it is.
Any help with this issue would be massively appreciated.
Thanks,
Kia

it sounds to me that the driver for the bluetooth radio is failing on you.
to prevent the computer from going to sleep, etc, the driver must be stuck in a wait state without a timer providing failure detection. you may want to send a bug report to someone (i imagine that would be apple, but i dont know - it's certainly not nokia, and beyond the scope of what microsoft ships with windows).
on my powerbook i sometimes have a similar issue as you have described (in macosx, not windows, since i dont have an intel chip). when i have this problem, my bluetooth preferences cannot display my laptop's bluetooth name. perhaps you see this issue too?
in macosx you can turn on/off the bluetooth radio. when i power cycle my bluetooth radio my problems subside. i believe this is due to the driver being unloaded (regardless of its failed state) and reloaded again when the hardware is once more available.
i don't know how to turn on/off bluetooth radios in windows. microsoft's bluetooth implementation is notorious. their initial offerings lacked basic features all over the place (microsoft just extended their serial port drivers to tunnel through the bluetooth hardware - so in lala land bluetooth was nothing more than a serial port). i'm sure they've improved it since i lasted played with it, but i don't know that they've added everything that your hardware supports.
maybe try using nokia's macosx software instead, and synchronizing between osx and windows via OS provided tools?
good luck,
-jared
edit:
what i mean to say is, perhaps use Parallels instead of Bootcamp. connect to the internet via macosx and share the internet connection from macosx to your windows apps.Message Edited by bitflung on 16-Oct-200705:03 PM
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)

Hi,
If it only remains in a shutting down process all the time, then we can do nothing, please hold on the power button to power down your PC, then reboot, check whether your PC can function fine. After boot into your PC, please view the event viewer,
find whether there're some error information recorded under item Windows logs\Application, setup, system.
View Windows update history under control panel\windows update, see if there're some failed updates, install them again.

ITunes 10.x.x.x Windows XP SP Will not shut down

Every time I run itunes 10, in this case 10.6.1.7 but for all iTunes in the past year or more - it will not shut down and stay shut down.
some suggest turning off "default player for audio" -- nice suggestion, but I do that and iTunes messages that I don't have privileges (I'm the administrator).
I turn off Bonjour -- itunes complains, but shuts down only to startup again.
I am NOT sharing music with other computers.
So the cryptic "don't have privileges" -- anyone know what Apple is looking for in this restriction?
Can't uncheck "default music player" -- anyone have a clue as to why not ?
Thanks for looking.
Jeff

The idea of a 3rd party unrelated app didn't seem reasonable, but in Windows, I brought up the the Windows Task Manager (similar to MacBook Activity Monitor) and started "ENDING" the tasks that seemed to be unrelated to the system but used for certain applications.
When I stopped a task related to my Linksys Music Bridge (I was using Airlink-101 music bridge tools to access the bridge) this allowed iTunes to start and stop without automatically restarting.
On XP, the task was "CMFLYWAV" not sure why it's called that, but I now use Bluetooth to send audio to my HiFi using a Logitech Speaker Adapter that works great, and doesn't cause problems for iTunes.
There are probably other unessential tasks running on those machine that still have this "won't shut down" problem.
Thanks for the hint, but I was heading down that road as the next step, assuming something else was forcing iTunes to stay active. But I would not have expected it to be a network speaker driver as it was in my case.

Windows 10 will not shut down completely? Power light stays on(official july 29th upgrade)

I just upgraded to windows 10 from windows eight and I'm facing shutdown problems because when I asked the PC to shut down; the screen goes off but the power light stays on and basically windows 10 does not shut down completely whenever I have to turn on my PC again, I have to force the power button down until it completely Shuts down and start it back up again.
I tried several troubleshooting tactics wants & browsed YouTube videos and but nothing seems work and I've seen people on this forum complain about same thing and am hoping HP fixes the problem.

YES!!!!! A Solution that worked. Spread the news. It has to do with the Intel Virtualization Tehnology. Didn't know what that was until this issue came up in Windows 10. First, find out if this is your issue. 1. I installed the 'Intel Processor Identification Utility' directly from Intel.2. After installation, open the program and go to the 'CPU Technologies' tab.3. If it says 'YES' for Intel Virtualization Tehnology, proceed. Solution...(at least on my system) 1. The next thing you have to do is go into the BIOS. If you have not done this before, proceed at your own risk. You need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS (for me I hit F10 at the HP screen)2. Within the BIOS, there is an 'Advanced Options' section3. In this section there is a line for 'Intel Virtualization Tehnology' and it will say enabled or disabled. My computer said disabled.4. If this is the case, change the option to 'ENABLED'; then SAVE and EXIT from the BIOS. The Computer will restart and from that point on Shut Down, Sleep, etc. has worked. WOW this was a frustrating issue. Almost went back to Windos 8. I take no credit for this solution, I pieced it together from other posts on this issue. Hope this helps.

Laptop does not shut down completely after upgrading to Windows 10!!

Ever since I installed Windows 10 64-bit, the PC does not shut down completely. The screen gets blank but the power button is still lit up...Have to manually shut down by holding the power button... Same issue anyone? Any solution or workaround? @HP??

I also have this problem, and have resorted to leaving the computer in Sleep mode when not in use. This is OK as a temporary fix, but is not a permanent solution. This is clearly a problem with HP computers and I would hope HP are aware of the need for urgent action to resolve the problem. I also hope that Microsoft gives them full cooperation. HP and Microsoft, are you listening?

how come when i sync my iphone5 to laptop window 7 it will shut down , but when m using ipad it will not shut down, so it means th problem is my iphone5

Hello vina8sy,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Can not shut down late 2011 MacBook Pro and turn it back on again without the hard drive disappearing?

Ok, I have searched for months for an answer to this question to no avail, probably because no one has experienced it before. I am hoping however that you guys can help me figure this one out cause it is driving me nuts! Also, I am not entirely sure what section of the support I should put this under so if I stick it in the wrong place, I apologize.
Right now my problem is very simple. When I turn off my laptop, and then try to turn it back on, my internal hard drive disappears... and I get the blinking folder with a question mark on it. I have figured out something interesting however. I have an install disk with Ubuntu Linux on it. If I boot into that first, then RESTART the laptop, not shut down and turn back on, it reads the internal hard drive just fine and I can boot as if there is nothing wrong.
Second part to the problem... If I allow the laptop in either OSX or Windows to go to sleep (aka shut off the hard drive but the computer remains on), when I attempt to wake it up, I am greeted with the usual log in screen of whichever OS I am in, but is frozen and after a few seconds goes black and restarts the computer to find that... Surprise! The hard drive is gone
I have tried every trick in the book that I can think of, but can not seem to come up with a solution to the problem... I know when the problem happened and if anyone thinks that that will help them figure this out I will type everything I did up till, including the crash that caused this, and my attempted fixes, but I have class right now so only if you guys want it I will type all that out.
What I am currently running is:
2011 MacBook Pro 13in screen
4Gb of Ram
1TB internal Hard Drive
OSX 10.11.whatever the newest update is... just updated the other day again.
Windows 8.1 on BootCamp 5 (yea I know its not supposed to work but it does) again, fully updated
Ubuntu 13.10 (I think? Doesn't really matter, its just an install disk I use to boot the computer)
If there is anything else that you guys need me to provide, I can, just simply ask. I can provide as much info as is necessary.

Sorry it took me so long to write back, But unfortunately this didn't help my issue.
My uncle and I did a lot of tests on this computer and have narrowed down the location of the problem a little bit.
We tried to first reset the SMC and the NVRAM as suggested, but the only thing that did was make the fans run on full tilt for the first session after restarting it for some reason. After that we tried re installing OSX over the OSX that was already on the system (not removing any of the files). This also didn't do anything but make refit stop working. Then we moved onto the next task at hand by removing the hard drive entirely and booting it as an external drive from one of the USB ports... as long as you booted it with the options key held down, it worked perfectly fine. Then we put an alternative hard drive into the computer and installed OSX on that. This time there was no trouble booting anything up. Everything seemed to work flawlessly. So we made a backup of my original drive (OSX, Windows, and all) onto an external hard drive and tested booting to it via USB. That again worked perfectly fine and booted right up with no problems. So after that we formatted the original hard drive and reinstated OSX. We then proceeded to transfer all the old files from the backup onto this new installation and LOW AND BEHOLD..... we were back to square one with it refusing to recognize the hard drive again.
So this basically told us that there appears to be something either wrong with the hard drive, or something got really screwed up in the software along the lines and by me copying all my old files back over, I just ended up bringing the screwed up file back over with it! (despite not copying over any settings of any kind) So I am still extremely confused as to what is going wrong... did some boot sector possibly get screwed up may be?

HP Pavilion P7-1141 will not shut down... Any thoughts?

Brand new HP Pavilion P7-1141 desktop (AMD A8-3800 quad-core CPU, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Radeon HD 6550D, Windows 7 64-bit) will not shut down properly regardless of what I do - I can press on/off button on the desktop, or choose "shut down" from Windows 7 menu, each time the following happens: Windows shows it's usual "shutting down" screen, then screen goes blank and monitor goes to sleep, but the desktop itself still seems to be working in some unusual mode: fans are rotating - I hear the usual quiet noise from them, the lights on the desktop are on, however, no hard drive activity at all. In this mode, the desktop can't be turned on anymore - I need to press on/off button for a few seconds to turn it off completely or unplug the power cable and plug it back and only after that it can be turned on. Windows will not show any error messages during startup, HP diagnosticks program does not find any issues, no error messages of any kind. I checked power settings in Windows, played with power settings in BIOS without any success. Am I missing something? Any ideas?
UPDATE: Sleep mode doesn't work as well. When I choose "sleep" from Windows 7 menu, exactly the same thing happens (monitor goes to sleep, fans are rotating, the lights on the desktop are on, no hard drive activity, etc). At least when I choose "restart" it restarts without any problems.

Hi:
See if (re) installing the chipset driver helps.

MacBook Pro will not shut down

A principal at my district has a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2008 (2.4/2X1GB/200-5400/256VRAM/AG) running OS 10.5.8 that will not shut down. When shut down is chosen, the computer restarts instead of shutting down. It does not matter how shut down is chosen, whether it is from pull down menu, keyboard command, click on shutdown in the login menu, etc. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, starting up from a known good system, and run diagnostics applications (which turn up no problems). The only way to get the machine to tunr off is hold the power button down until it shuts off.
The user complains it also gets very hot when he leaves it sitting open in sleep mode. I have not observed that particular symptom. It also tend to run down the battery faster than it should (battery check shows it to have 80+% of it's original capacity.) But Activity Monitor does not show any unusual activity.
Any suggestions what I can try next to figure this thing out?
Thanks.

On occassion (like tonight) my MacBook Pro will not
shut down - even when I attempt to force quit. Any
suggestions?
Happens here too, but very rarely. In my case it mostly happens late at night when OS X is supposed to run some internal maintenance jobs, maybe some of them do not allow a shutdown?
Does holding the power button down for approx. 10 seconds work? If yes, then I would not worry about it. If no, there is something seriously odd and I would report it to AppleCare.
Cheers,
Uwe
