My PC used to always 'hang' on 'Saving your Settings' for only around 3-4
secs.
During the last week, I installed the latest Critical Updates plus several
small apps & now it takes about 30 secs.

What causes this type of change, is it normally related to the above-type
installs, or do I look completely in another direction?
 
could be lots of things. One known culprit of slow shutdowns is the
"nVidia Driver Helper Service". If you installed a nVidia driver lately
then you can safely disable this service, it's not really needed.

if this does not apply....

do the standard debug things: look at the list of running processes
in TaskMan [cntrl-shift-esc], what do you see that's "new". Check the
list of running services. Check event log for error messages.
