How to prevent application from closing on logoff using WMI?

My application is running in the background as a service, but whenever I logoff it closes. I want to somehow override the Form.WndProc() (?) and WMI (?) to prevent my application from closing. It is currently running under the SYSTEM user account. I'm not even sure this is possible, I just remember hearing something about it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I have a form which the user must complete before closing. I have disabled the window x button and use my own exit button. When selected it checks to see if the user has completed the entries otherwise it cancels the close. However, the user can still right click on the task bar and close my application. Is there any way of preventing this. Thanks Alex

I have a program that exits just fine when you close it manually, but throws an unhandled exception when I try to log off windows. It suggests I enable the JIT debugger, but when I compile the program in debug mode and enable JIT debugging it closes fine, though the logoff process is aborted. I am using a couple of activex controls that .net generated wrappers for, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but my program closes...

Hi All I have an app that when running if a user selects logoff or shutdown from the start menu, it will close itself but not logoff windows or shutdown. From what i have found so far its most likely something ive declared in my program that is preventing the logoff, i have tried closing and disposing forms and sql connections, is there anything else i should be looking for ? Or some way to step through it to find what is causing this ...

I want to prevent a user from closing an application while doing critical operations. The following code (concept came from MSDN) works except for when the user attempts to terminate via "Task List" which causes "Program not responding"...press "Cancel" and no issues, press "End now" and sure enough it ends. My question is; is there any method to prevent the "Application not responding" message from appearing? Current code:

Hi Guys, I have a small application which uses a NotifyIcon. The user can set a flag (PreventClosing ) so that when he clicks on the form-cancel button "X", the program will instead be minimized in the icon try. See code attached. My problem is that my code is probably too naive. In fact there is a problem when one tries to shut dow or restart Windows. Windows does NOT want to shut down! I guess it's the e.cancel = TRUE statement in...

Hi, We have a VB.Net application that is sleeping until it receives a logoff/shutdown event. We want the application running on Vista and XP. When the application receives those events it has to show a message box, so the user can answer Yes or No, and then let the logoff/ shutdown process continues.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
