So the only way to shut down your PC is by using the power button? Did i read that right?

It sounds as if there is some kind of background application running which is eating up your processes. You need to kill the processes.

Using the shutdown -f -r -t 0 will work just fine for the time being.

Also if you do not know how to kill processes and find out what application is doing this then i suggest for the time being that you create a desktop shortcut and type in the shutdown -f -r -t 0 command in. From then on when you click on that icon the computer should shut down.

Hello. I have a little problem. I created a little Service which uses SIP, all works rather well, but when I want to shut it down in the Services panel, it looks as if it's shut down, but in fact it's not: - when I try want to delete the .DLL file, I can't: the file is still locked - if I "Start" my Service again, it refuses I have to wait like ~20s, and then it is really shut down. When I shut down the Service, and then try to Start it...

I have a form which instantiates a control, which instantiates another control, which instantiates yet another control that runs a time- consuming loop. I put Application.DoEvents() into the loop so the user can continue to work on the form while the loop is running. Everything works great until the user wants to exit the application. The application will not close until the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
