I have a feeling there isn't a single simple answer to this issue. I was experiencing this yesterday evening after I had finished troubleshooting my BIOS flashback procedure. I tend to not do shutdowns as a matter of habit because historically my PC's have been so slow to start up. My research indicated that it was probably some background service preventing Windows from shutting down. But I tried to recall the most recent applications I had installed that changed the environment of my system. AI Suite was the only thing I had recently installed and I have read a lot of talk on the forums about various problems AI Suite causes.
I uninstalled all of AI Suite and the issue is resolved. I have no idea which element of AI Suite was the culprit in my case. But I am not motivated right now to install it one component at a time to see which application was causing the issue for me.

My problem has gone away for now. Maybe it wasn't the same as yours. What I was experiencing is that the screen would go black as if Windows had shutdown, however all my fans continued to run and the motherboard did not power off.

I just did a shutdown to verify that my system is working correctly. It is.
This is the status of my Intel Services in my system.
If I were you I might trying turning those services back on one at a time so that you can narrow down which one might be causing the problem unless your are convinced that they are all to blame. But if you shut them all down at the same time how do you know which one it is?

i did try to do it one by one but it looked like they are all causing the problem but hey it has been 2-3 weeks for me these Services are not active an i didnt have any problems in Windows or Gaming or System Errors so on... You have even more Intel Services then me
i dont see the Intel (R) Technology Access Soft and Intel (R) Technology Access Serv in your list ?
On Summary like i understood from your Postings since you deinstalled Asus Ai Suite you dont have problems with shutdown even with this Services activated is this right?
If so you have the oportunity to install Asus Ai Suite again try to reproduce the shutdown problem if it occurs deactivate at least the Services you saw the Picture i posted and check for the system behaviour after this
And Please do some series of shutdowns too because what i noticed is that the system sometimes shutdown regular and after some other tries not!

You are right. I do have more and I do not have Intel (R) Technology Access Soft and Intel (R) Technology Access Serv. I have no idea when those services get installed. I did some googling and from the Intel community forums they appear to be related to overclocking so if you do not do overclocking I guess they might not be needed. I have been shutting down my system routinely now when not in use because I am so pleased with its boot time. I do not have any shutdown problems at this time.
I tried installing AI Suite today and the installation restart caused my system to spin its wheels for like 5 minutes. Nothing on my system should take 5 minutes to restart and if it does I don't want it. I did not get any shutdown problems after that but still decided not to keep it installed. I just don't want to carry the overhead if I think it won't be used much.
I will say that when I was having the error that in addition to uninstalling AI Suite I ran CCleaner. There wasn't a lot for it to clean up but it did clean up a few things. Have you tried running CCleaner on your system?
As it stands now my Shutdown procedure works correctly every time with all those Intel Services running.
edit to add: I was optimizing my system startup to make it faster and some of those Intel Services were eliminated when I disabled a startup program named Core with no publisher name? Does anyone know what Core is and who the publisher might be. Is that some Asus software? Anyway, I thought it was interesting. Below is a picture of the only Intel services still running after disabling Core. It is also handy to know that you can disable a lot of this through Task Manager Startup tab.
