Keep receiving two "end task" messages when shutting down

I'm not all that computer literate. How do I do that?

Thanks,

Have you tried waiting them out? Many times they'll close on their own
in short time.

It's possible you could speed up the closing of those two components, if
you don't actually have a network of computers, and thusly, don't share
files or printers. As a test, in the Network Properties, disable
"Client for Microsoft Networks", and "File and Printer Sharing". Those
are two less things to communicate with before closing down the network
components.

Otherwise, just wait it out, I guess..
