Can you elaborate further? What happens after you click shutdown in Windows?
Click to expand...

Have you tried, reformatting and reinstalling windows because i bet you
are missing key registry components to shutting down and logging off
;)
 
But for now to prevent any further data loss when you want to shut down go to run and type cmd -> shutdown -r ( to abort) type shut down -a hope this helps for the time being if this computer does not have a windos CD until you get one....
