I want to press the button/shutdown and have it skip the 'shut down anyway' screen so I can jsut walk away confident it will actually shut down automatically not babysit for antoehr 10+ seconds like i currently do.
So force it to automatically close programs that are preventing shut down.
I did that in winxp with some registry keys but don;t know how i do it in 8.1?
No because it hangs saying 'this program is preventing windows from shutting down'. I usually have several programs still loaded that may cause this when I shut down so Id like it to just shut them down without having to click each one individually.
Close all programs before shutting down. Most open programs will close at shutdown. If there is a program that is keeping it from shutting down, then do as Corday said, and stop the process in Task Manager. What is the program?
