This has only started recently, i'm running El Capitan latest beta (GM?)

My macbook is hanging on a black screen with spinning circle, refusing to shutdown.

A little annoying as I'm forcing the shutdown by holding the power button.

Cold boot is speedy with no probs.

Any suggestions to get my macbook to shutdown.

to add Disk utility is currently hanging on spinning disk..loading disks
