There is a windows registry hack to set the shutdown wait time for 1s and that did fix it for me. But every update they turn it back to unlimited.

(I ended up installing Linux, I only have the dnf5daemon server holding the shutdown up for atnost 5min now. But I haven't tried to fix it)

Which is why in my Windows days I got a habit of turning computer off with Windows + R --> shutdown -s -f -t 0

Windows just works, my ass :)
