Slow Shutdown/Reboot after Windows 10 Update to 1706

Especially when using SSD, previously like 2 seconds now become 3 minutes or more.

1. Update all Intel/Display/Sound card drivers.

2. Double check Windows doesn't change page file location from SSD to HDD.

3. Disable ClearPageFileAtShutdown

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000000

After the above 3 steps, my Windows 10 shutdown speed resumed normal.
