shutdown - restart fix needed!
« on: February 16, 2014, 01:25:09 pm »
Shane you probably know that there are viruses targeting shutdown / restart the system feature, causing to Windows system to no shutdown and reboot normally ( :  :thinking:

After you get these infections most simplicity Windows system will be unable to shut down and restart! So this is a problem and we want a fix for it!
However, I had an experience with this problem before and then search Google and found a solution using force shutdown / restart utility for a temporary solution! lol  :tongue:

The infections are not stopping Windows from shutting down, and I have seen this happen on normal systems with no infections.

What happens during shutdown is Windows is shutting down all the services and loaded drivers. If a service or driver doesn't respond and never closes Windows just sits there waiting for it.

Instead you can put in a registry key in Windows to auto kill hung programs and services during shutdown. My Simple System Tweaker has that in there.

That will normally help the problem, unless it is a deep hardware driver doing it, but I would try the reg fix first.

There is no program I could make that could doing anything to help that as Windows is is total control so you have to use the reg tweaks for it.
