Here's what worked for me and it happens every now and then and the following fixes it every time but never for good... Go to Control Panel/Seclect Power Options/Click on whatever time you have set up on any panel/click ok/ return to where you were without changing anything and your computer should shutdown.. it works for me everytime this strange thing happens..
