My Toshiba Satellite laptop with Vista (purchased a couple of months ago) will not fully boot up after having installed Quicktime yesterday (I powered down sometime last night. After the splash screen, the screen comes up where, normally, the user login is displayed, but the "Please wait" of death keeps me waiting indefinitely and the login field never shows. If there is already a thread on this please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
