My guess is that you have another foreground thread running next to the UI
thread. Make this one a background thread.
If you need this thread to clean-up, you'll have to register a
SystemEvents.Se ssionEnding event handler, but make sure you read the remarks
in SystemEvents.Se ssionEnding Event in MSDN.

I should give more info - Sorry.
This happens because iam canceling the Close event such that user is not
closing app when X button was clicked.
I tryied to add Environment.Has ShutdownStarted but it not works. When i
disable e.Cancel = true, windows is closing normally.
Have any idea how to bite this?

private void Form1_Closing(o bject sender,
System.Componen tModel.CancelEv entArgs e)
{
this.Visible = false;
this.activated = false;
this.WindowStat e = FormWindowState .Minimized;

if (!Environment.H asShutdownStart ed)
{
// Cancel the close...
e.Cancel = true;
}
}

By setting e.Cancel to true, you prevent windows to close the form and as
such the application.
You should set e.Cancel to false is you accept to close.

I dont have to. e.Cancel is false by the default. Anyway
Environment.Has ShutdownStarted isn't true even if iam closing windows. How
do i detect that windows is shutting down in other way...

This is one of the way's to detect a "system shutdown", another way is to
register a handler for the SystemEvents.Se ssionEnding and/or SessionEnded
events.

However, in the subject line you state "reset of power off", if you mean by
this, pushing the reset or power button, it will depend how the system is
configured what action will follow.
A reset will in general stop the system cold, pushing the power button will
execute whatever was set in the power options (hibernate, standby,
shutdown...).
