I tried uninstalling, reinstalling and updating them to no avail. It does tell me now that i have no audio devices connected (Which I do), there seems to be no way to fix it. Although honostly I remember having trouble with it before. I somehow fixed that and that's how the problems with SENS got started, I think. After running system repair the SENS error stopped and I have Aero again, however my audio still doesn't work and startup still takes a bit longer (though I guess audio not working might be why?). If it helps, for the audio drivers it says I have installed: Intel(R) Display Audio, NVIDIA High Definition Audio, NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM).

Well, so far the shut downs have been going well.
I did start having problems starting up though (this was the case yesterday already, but then after a cold boot it seemed fixed and I didn't really think of it anymore). It takes much longer than usual for windows (7, by the way, I did forget to mention that previously) to start up, giving me the "Please wait" screen, then when I log in I get a message saying "Failed to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service-service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond.". Aero also doesn't work. However when I go onto the guest account on my computer everything seems to work normally.
I have already done a quick google search and it seems like many other people have had this problem at one point or another. So far I've tried this:  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/21488611-2011-4242-90a5-ba1f536ca5f6/could-not-connect-to-system-event-notification-service?forum=w7itprogeneral and this youtube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXm9dh8pw8A ; with no success.
Not sure if anyone knows the fix for it, or if your program can somehow help fix it?

Late update, I fixed the firewall problem (thanks to you guys telling me it's ok to unplug! Would've probably stayed up all night and had a staring competition with the screen had I not done that). Though my computer does still seem to get stuck on that shutdown screen every so often. Most of the time it's the screen with the circle saying ''Shutting down...'' , though sometimes it freezes up before it even gets there.

Hi all, I was having a problem with my firewall earlier and I got online support involved. The guy told me to download the Windows repair thing, skip ahead to step 5 and then do a registry backup and create a system restore point, or something along those lines, and then go to repairs. So I did the Registry Backup thing, got confused and clicked restore registry, did all that good stuff, said restart computer and realized I the guy never said anything about that. So now my computer has been attempting to shut down for over an hour. I don't know if that's normal, in the first place, but assuming it is, did I just do something really dumb and probably somehow mess up my computer? And aside from that, is it a bad idea to pull the plug during the shutdown process now?
