scarletmeister, I know it is going to sound strange, but try disabling Bluetooth - and see if that solves the long shutdown/reboot times. If so your BT driver needs updating to the latest for Windows 8/8.1. And, if that is true, you likely need to update all of your Windows drivers.

Be sure and select OS as Windows 8.1 to get the latest drivers, going to the download area links below sometimes it comes up as Windows 7, or other, instead of Windows 8.1.

You can downgrade. Chose what version you want, download it and make sure you click "clean install" from the installation window. I'm using 335.23. They are pretty stable on my lappy... (JW)

scarletmeister, try to focus on 1 problem at a time. You said you were having long shutdown/reboot/startup, which I suggested turning off Bluetooth to see if that solved it, did you try that?

Why are you worried about downgrading your Nvidia driver? You have a JX, and can run the newest Nvidia drivers directly from Nvidia, no need to downgrade.

Updates need to be done, take the time to do them, and then you have a stable Windows configuration you can enjoy with only occasional new updates from Microsoft. Don't try to cancel the updates, or interrupt them, or power off to stop them, you will corrupt the update process and then you will need to fix that before moving forward again.

While under Windows, start Windows Update and check for new updates - be proactive to do the updates when they come in - that way you don't get caught doing a bunch of updates at shutdown or startup. If you have updates right now, and they are being done in the background, starting Windows Update will let you see what is going on and watch them being downloaded/installed.

And, above all else be patient and let the updates complete, or Windows will turn around and bite you with a corrupt update process that is a pain to fix...

To speed up future updates, replace the HDD with an SSD, it makes a big difference in reducing the waiting time for installs / updates.

Let us know if you run into trouble with the updates, there are few fixes to try.
