Cannot Shutdown Also Long Start Up When Booting

- Running windows 7 home premium
- Latest windows 7 updates

Some extra information - when my wireless signal for the wireless keyboard goes out (randomly), the usb port (usb extension) stops working for that port, however if you take it out and replug, still doesn't work.
only way to "fix" this is by force restarting by turning it off with the power button (I can't even shutdown because it hangs there anyways).

I'm not sure what it could be, whether its new windows update, or new applications I installed (well, I don't really install many new apps, and i have roughly the same things I did when I first got my laptop). Its literally impossible to shutdown it successfully (well i never decide to wait ages, but if the laptop doesn't shut down in a few mins, something has to be wrong) - same applies to the restart, both doesn't work unless I force it with the power button.

Here's an example below:
Windows has shutdown:
Shutdown Duration : 19478ms
IsDegradation : false
Incident Time (UTC) : 05T16:35:07.937364300Z

Some of the applications I use are trivial (like trillian, skype, steam, etc) and i've had all these programs before and it was fine, able to shut down and so on.
