Other answers

There is no problem with your laptop. The programs that take longer to close are performing background tasks or have so many processes running that is takes a long time for them to close. I would suggest not using force shutdown as this can cause minor problems.

What's up

Its not the laptop error. Before shutting down the system, you ought to close all the programs manually then shut it down.
