Knocking on wood as I type this... since un-checking the box, I have not had a single restart/shutdown issue.

Now I'm anal, I close all my apps before restarts/shutdowns anyway. I've also been un-checking the "Reopen all windows when logging back in" box when restarting/shutting down.

How about you? Any luck with un-checking the box?

Same here... but I will give it a week before marking this as solved. Of course I will call Apple up and let them know that the issue might have its roots with the resume feature.

Hopefully the issue is solved by now (knocking on wood as well)...

Just an update, after 13 days of rigorous testing with the unchecked restore windows option in OSX Lion's System Prefs menu, the issue resurfaced today. Although, unchecking the box has alleviated the problem in some form, it's back to square one. I called Apple Care and they requested more information so that it could be forwarded to Apple Engineering.

Words cannot describe how frustrated I am with this issue, this is by far the worst OS release (in terms of stability) made by Apple since OSX 10.0. As of today, I am seriously considering reverting back to Snow Leopard (as this hanging shutdown problem never occurred under OSX 10.6.X, and most importantly I have run extended Apple Hardware Tests 2 times with no issues being reported with RAM, CPU, Logic Board, and others). I am really hoping that OSX 10.7.2 fixes this issue if not, I will abandon Lion until further notice and stick to Snow Leopard. My message to Apple: "Stop working on iCloud and iOS and focus on fixing Mac OS X".

I too noticed the issue came back when I shutdown on Monday. I haven't touched my MBP since then since I've been using my iPad exclusively. I'll play with the MBP again next week.

Thanks for the update Snyded! I did the 3rd clean reinstall of Lion only this time I updated via softaware update to OSX 10.7.1 immediately after installing iLife. For me 10.7 must redeem itself with OSX 10.7.2 or if not I will regretfully downgrade to Snow Leopard which by all means was a more stable OS than OSX Lion ever was. This issue does not have a clear pattern, although unchecking that box made the problem less frequent. I should note that in the last 24 hours my computer went south after an AppleCare representative instructed me to delete my user application cache. After that action my MacBook and OSX Lion started working very oddly.

I am holding my breath for OSX 10.7.2.

P.S. I really hate that Apple automatically marks my question as solved. This problem is not fixed whatsoever.

I experienced irrregular shutdowns even after Kaspersky was disabled.. It was shutting down properly for a few days, now it is happens irregularly. So it is not Kaspersky (though i have the latest version, i think, 8.0.6.870).

What computer model are you using? MacBook Pro? iMac?...

Do you have other 3rd party software installed other than Kapersky? (i.e. Office, OnyX, etc.)

Hi, I would suggest you to create a new post for this issue as is unrelated...

Not trying to rub it in but after reading pdo59's post, I bounced my MBP. After a little more than 4 days of uptime, it shutdown and restarted flawlessly.

So you are saying after 4 days of normal shutdowns your MBP failied to shutdown after reading again this post?

Thought I could update you guys on the latest info about this issue. This afternoon I got a lovely email from the engineers at Apple tech support telling me that my issue was being closed and labeled it as a "one time issue" due to lack of information. Really!!! I am freaking aware of that, there's no info neither on the kernel or system log. Guess Apple has more important things to do such as playing with iCloud. I am very disappointed at this issue and how apple is handling it, guess I will start talking with my a Snow Leopard friend about how the king of the jungle breaks the user's system and its creator just looks over and say anything. Does Apple look at these forums a large number of users have complained of the hanging shutdown bug in OSX Lion.

Well that's my update (rant) 😝. I would love to hear if the issue has remained for the other posters in this thread.
