New Avast version 21.11 and slow PC shut down

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

After updating Avast to version 21.11, it takes 3 minutes (usually less than 15 seconds) to shut down my computer. Does anyone have the same problem?

Did anything change after the update with your scans or shields’ settings?

Is this issue reproducible with more shut downs?
