WinXP Hangs on Shutdown

I installed the lastest large batch of updates from MS on my Win XP SP1 a couple of days ago. This is on an HP ze4630us laptop.

Now the computer hangs at the very end of the shudown process with the message "Windows is shutting down" (or similar) on the screen. I have to press the computer's ON button for a number of seconds to make it turn off.

The computer never hung during shutdown until I installed the latest Windows updates.

There are no error messages or other problems when I start the computer the next time.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a similar problem with Win98se on a home-assembled system but that is not the present question.
