Abort Forced Reboot

I am writing an application which will install a number of updates
(silently) as well as installing Norton and Spysweeper silently.
Problem is that after spysweeper installs, it performs a forced reboot
of the PC. How would I abort the FORCED shutdown?

Check to see if there are any command line arguments you can use to stop
shutdown

InitializeSyste mShutdown API is what you need to look for

On the http://www.gotdotnet.com code samples is a piece of code that stops
Windows shutdown

Command line arguments do not work... They stop normal shutdowns, but
cannot abort a forced shutdown...

Wow, next time you have a biased opinion that has nothing to do with
the subject at hand, please, do me a favor, keep it to yourself. I
didn't ask for an opinion on the software that was being installed, but
as how to abort a forced shutdown.

PooFlinger1,

Aaron is a troll. 'tis best to ignore him and I'm sure someone who can
answer your question will stop by soon with a 'constructive' option.

I want to abort a running thread, so I call MyThread.abort() function. My problem is this thread runs "almost" like a while(true) loop and I don't want the Abort() function interrupts the thread at any point in the thread. In fact, I have a section of code needs to be "protected" from being interrupted. How can I make sure Abort() will not land anywhere winthin this block? In other words, the Abort() must wait until this block of code is done...

I ran into an interesting re-pain delay after calling the Abort() method on a thread, but it only happens the very first time I call it. Every time afterward, there is no delay. I've got a delegate inside the UI that I call to update the progress meter. I use the Suspend() and Abort() methods based on button events. I can watch the progress meter increase just fine when the thread is running. When I select Start, I enable the Cancel...

Hi I wrote an application server (a remoting sinlgeton), where processes must be stopped in very rare cases, done thru a Thread.Abort(). Occasionally, and only after a Thread.Abort(), this component becomes instabile, throwing a Windows like error (access violation on 0x00000002), not an framework exception. The component and all of its subcomponents are 100% managed code. What could go wrong with Thread.Abort()? Thanks for any hints.

Here is an advanced PHP question. Can anyone think of a way to detect the number of bytes written to output when a script is aborted?

In the shutdown handler, I tried ob_get_length, but it returns false. I tried to read the server's log file, but it is does not contain the...

Hi folks, You know, the Thread class has got a method named Abort which according to the msdn: "Raises a ThreadAbortException in the thread on which it is invoked, to begin the process of terminating the thread.

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,...
