Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

[Debbie1955]

Hi. Everytime I shut down my computer, I get an error. It has something to do with the Generic Host Process for Win32 Services, but I never get an actual error message or number, it's just a second or two when I see the shut down stop long enough to show me that the computer encountered a problem with the Generic Host Process, after a few seconds the computer shuts down. I don't recall exactly when this started to happen, so I don't know if I installed something that may have triggered the problem. I don't know if it is harming my computer in any way, but it is constant, happens with every shut down. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Do I need to go to MicroSoft to find the error? As always, I look forward to all of the feedback and information I gain from being a junior member of this forum. Thanks.
