The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Once you know the computer is completely clean, you can go through this
shutdown troubleshooter:

And if I may add to Malke's excellent "first question," a common response is
"nothing has changed."

That is *always* the wrong answre. Something always has changed. If nothing
had changed, nothing could have gone wrong. The job of the troubleshooter is
to find out what has changed.
