I am posting this solution to my own problem here.
A few days ago I bought an MSI GL73 laptop. I had the problem that my laptop would hang up when shutting down/rebooting. I was then forced to long press the power key in order to turn the laptop off.
There were no error messages visible in the shutdown sequence. Only green "[OK] Stopped ..." messages. The last message before hanging up would be "[OK] Reached target Power-Off" or "[OK] Reached target Shutdown. [OK] Reached target Final Step. Starting Halt..."
Some background information: I disabled UEFI in the bios settings and switched to legacy mode. First I installed Windows 10 and then I installed Arch on another partition. Lastly, I installed grub. I also had troubled with backlight/brightness not working. So it looked very much like a Acpi problem.
Here is how I fixed it after lots of googling and messing around with bios settings and kernel parameters:
1) /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2009'"
Now the laptop would shutdown/reboot after a delay of 90 seconds. This can be shorted with this:
2) /etc/systemd/system.conf
DefaultTimeoutStartSec=10s
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s

Hello,
Thank you for the solution.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work in my case, but thanks anyway!
Fortunately, I resolved the issue with shutdown for my situation :

In general the following works for me:
sudo vim /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet noefi"
