System hanging at shutdown on my archlinux's xmonad wm


Hi to all!
I noticed since few weeks ago that when i shutdown my system it hangs preventing from shutting down.
I tried to solve the issue installing rng-tools but the issue persists. Anyone may help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Your question does not meet the minimum standards for either LQ or Archlinux.
Please read the first two (not Covid-related) links in my signature, and act upon them.
We need more information!

Typically I run command: journalctl -b -1 as root after a quick power up/power down to keep it short, scroll down till somewhere around this message: systemd-logind[864]: System is powering down. and just keep an eye on the time of every event while scrolling down, eventually you'll see where it got stuck and may get a clue, or if it basically freezes, the clue might be at the end. You can also check journal logs within time frames, like: journalctl --since "20 min ago".
Does it mention a Stop job for user is running?
